What Is a Title Examination?

A title examination is the review and evaluation of the information discovered during the title search.

The purpose is to identify recorded matters that may affect ownership or transfer and determine what requirements may need to be satisfied before the transaction can proceed.

This review may involve deeds, liens, judgments, easements, restrictions, mortgages, and other recorded interests affecting the property.

WHY IT MATTERS

Turning Search Results Into Clear Next Steps

A title search gathers important information from available public records. The title examination is where those findings are reviewed and evaluated to determine whether any matters require attention before closing.

Our team carefully analyzes the available title information to help identify applicable requirements, potential defects, and other matters that may need to be addressed as part of the transaction.

WHY IT MATTERS

Identifying What Must Be Addressed Before Closing

Title issues do not always prevent a transaction from moving forward, but they may require review, documentation, clarification, or resolution before closing.

A careful title examination helps determine what may need to be addressed so the parties can move forward with a clearer understanding of the title.
