A title search is a detailed examination of the historical records concerning a property. These records include deeds, court records, property and name indexes and many other documents. The purpose of the search is to verify the seller’s right to transfer ownership and discover any claims, defects and other rights or burdens on the property.
Closing, also known as “settlement” or “escrow,” is when all necessary documents are signed, the title to a property is transferred from seller to buyer and the keys are exchanged. Closing is typically held in the title company’s office and involves the completion and execution of all documents to finalize the transaction between buyer and seller.
