read moreWhat Is It: A title search involves examining the records in the county clerk's office in the county in which the subject property is located. This includes searches into deeds, notes, liens, and outstanding taxes, but can also extend to judicial records, franchise taxes, and Uniform Commercial Code. Why It Matters: The more comprehensive the search, the more likely it is that you will discover any problems with a title before purchase. A potential buyer of property can request a preliminary title search before they sign a contract or during the due diligence period.
