What is a Title?
A "Title" is the evidence, or proof, that a person and/or entity like a corporation or partnership owns and/or possesses a particular piece of land. Proof of ownership is established by tracing the history of ownership of the property by documents recorded in the public records of the county in which the property lies, called the “Chain of Title”. It may be possible that another person or entity may claim to have a legal interest in the property. This interest may involve ownership, access to the property or may affect your ability to use the property.
