There are different reasons why you may need to have your title reviewed through a title search. A title search will go back a certain number of years and document:
• Who has owned the property during that time period
• Whether there are any mortgages or other liens on the property
• Whether there is anyone else that may claim an ownership interest in your property.
It would not be a good idea to purchase a property that has not had the title searched and reviewed. It is the best way to be sure of what you are actually purchasing.
