People purchasing property, such as a house, condo or commercial space, will want to contact a title company to conduct a title search. Titles are documents that establish legal ownership of a property. A title search protects the buyer from a fraudulent transaction by verifying that the seller is really the owner of the property. Many title companies also offer title insurance to protect the buyer or seller. Titles are an essential piece in the sale of real estate. A title company representative must be present at the closing of the sale. A title search will locate public records that show ownership of a property. The person conducting the title search may determine whether the current seller is entitled to transfer ownership.
