The term ‘Title’ means the ownership right to a property.

In real estate business and law, a ‘title search’ or ‘property title search’ is the process of retrieving documents evidencing events in the history of a piece of real property, to determine relevant interests in and regulations concerning that property.

The search or investigation is carried out broadly to ensure that the property is indeed in the name of the person who claims it to be, is free from liens, mortgages or encumbrances, that the applicable taxes have been discharged and that the property is not a subject matter in any legal conflicts.

Documents concerning conveyances of land are a matter of public record. These documents are maintained in hard copy paper format or sometimes scanned into image files. The information within the documents is typically not available in data format as the records are descriptions of legal events which contain terms, conditions, and language in excess of data. Generally, buyer relies upon advocate’s report on title, which is based on scrutiny of such public records available in various Government Departments.

Why Search

A deed records an event of property transfer, a mortgage documents the collateral interest of a home loan, and a lien documents a claim against the property in favor of another, such as a creditor, vendor, or tradesman. The objective of the title search is to establish clear, marketable title by exposing any outstanding claims prior to transfer of title.

THE PROCESS

The process of performing a title search involves accessing the official land records for the subject property. Each record is a document evidencing an event which occurred in the history of the property. The process of a title search begins with searching for and retrieving each physical document from the books which contain them. Every document is recorded by date in a special set of volumes which may or may not be digitized or scanned into a searchable file, depending on the financial resources of the State/ town. Generally, the Title Search are performed for a period of 30 years or more, if records are available in the Government Departments.

The collected documents are then reviewed and analyzed to see how each affects the property, and which documents have been released by subsequent recordings.
