TITLE SEARCH

TITLE SEARCH

Title insurance is a critical aspect of real estate transactions, offering protection against financial losses stemming from title defects. A thorough title search, a core component of the process, involves scrutinizing public records to establish property rights and ownership. This ensures sellers have the legal authority to transfer ownership and buyers acquire all rightful entitlements.

Title Insurance Policy:
In real estate transactions, securing a title insurance policy is customary to verify the title’s validity. Innovative Law Firm conducts an exhaustive search to assess title insurability, examining elements like the chain of title, tax status, and outstanding judgments against prior owners.

Elements of the Title Search:
Chain of Title: Provides a comprehensive history of property ownership, documenting all property transactions.
Tax Search: Evaluates the current tax status, identifying any outstanding taxes or assessments.
Judgment and Name Search: Identifies unresolved judgments against sellers or prior owners affecting the title.

Title Insurance Commitment:
Upon completing the title search, our firm issues a commitment to insure, outlining coverage conditions. This commitment assures a clear title, streamlining the closing process.

Buyer’s Protection:
While lenders typically obtain their own policy, buyers must secure theirs for comprehensive protection of their investment and ownership rights.
