A title search is a thorough examination of public records to confirm a property's legal ownership and uncover any liens, easements, or other claims against it.
Title searches are a standard part of any real estate transaction. A title company or attorney reviews deed records, court filings, tax records, and other documents to build a chain of ownership and flag potential problems. Issues like unpaid taxes, contractor liens, or boundary disputes can all surface during this process. Resolving these issues before closing protects the buyer from inheriting someone else's legal or financial problems.
GoForth, a luxury co-ownership company, conducts a comprehensive title search on every property before any of the four ownership families commit to a purchase. This due diligence is part of GoForth's acquisition process, ensuring the LLC takes clean, uncontested title to the home. Owners benefit from this upfront work without having to manage the process themselves.
