A title is a document that proves the ownership and rights to a property. A title may not grant every right or ownership to the property. They sometimes grant ownership of physical property, but not mineral rights. When purchasing a piece of property, a title search is necessary. This gives you proof that the seller has the right to sell you the property and/or rights along with it. Mortgage companies will require title searches to be done before approving a mortgage for any particular property. This is true for both residential and commercial properties.
Why You Need Title Searches
- Mortgage Lenders: Mortgage companies will require that a title search be done before approving a mortgage for a property. The last thing they want to do is pay someone to acquire ownership of the property who does not own the property themselves. The title search keeps this from happening.
- Verify Rights of Seller: Sellers may try to sell a property without the knowledge of a co-owner. They also may try to double dip and sell their mineral rights to multiple parties. A title search reveals what they own and if they can sell the property or not.
- Liens & Encumbrances: People may have liens and encumbrances on their property and either do not know or won’t tell you. This can quickly complicate a sale or cause you much more money to clear the title of these things. Hire a title company to ensure that there are no unknown liens or encumbrances such as mechanic’s lien, unpaid taxes, or easements.
