A title search is a review of certain documents that detail the history of a particular property. A title search involves examining public county records to uncover the chain of title, which refers to the legal history of the property as it has passed between owners over the years. The chain of title goes all the way back to the original landowner, who may have been a farmer or recipient of a land grant from the U.S. government, assuming your county’s records go back that far.

For example, let’s suppose a man sells his house after his wife dies. If a couple owns property together, both spouses are required to sign the deed. To get around this, the man signs his and his wife’s name when he sells the house to a young couple. Everyone involved in the transaction knows that the wife has passed away, but by skipping a title search to verify who rightfully inherits the property, the young couple could face complications if an heir turns up one day to claim ownership. Even if that doesn’t occur, the issue would need to be resolved before the couple could sell the house.
