If there are problems with the title on your new property, you want to know about them before settlement, not after. A title search can reveal several kinds of problems with a title, including:
* Liens resulting from unpaid taxes, homeowner’s association fees, and other unpaid bills.
* Easements and other restrictions to your use of the property.
* Whether the seller has the right to sellthe property.
* Clerical and filing errors.
* Missing documents or information.
* Illegal documents or forgery.
* Whether anyone else besides the seller could lay claim to the property.
* Unsatisfied judgements against a previous titleholder.
