When a buyer addresses the mortgage lender to buy a property, it is requisite to have clear titles so that legal issues do not occur later. Hence title search is an indispensable part. A title is the collection of rights reserved for the real estate property and title search is an inspection of public records to determine and confirm a property’s rightful ownership, and find out what claims or liens are on the property. This search determines whether the person selling the property has the appropriate right, and the buyer is receiving all the rights of the property.
