A title search reviews public records to confirm a property’s legal ownership and identify any liens, claims, or restrictions. This step is essential to ensure the property can be legally transferred and helps prevent future ownership disputes.

What is title insurance, and do I need it?

Title insurance protects buyers and lenders from financial loss due to issues with the property’s title, such as undiscovered liens or ownership claims. While not always required for buyers, it provides valuable peace of mind and long-term protection.
