Title verification is a critical step in any real estate transaction to ensure that the property being bought, sold, or transferred has a clear and marketable title. A defective or disputed title can lead to legal complications, financial losses, and property disputes. At Manu Legal Solutions, we provide comprehensive title verification services to safeguard your real estate investments.
1. What is Title Verification?
Title verification is the process of examining legal ownership records of a property to ensure that:
✅ The seller has clear and legal ownership of the property.
✅ There are no legal disputes, encumbrances, or mortgages affecting the title.
✅ The property is free from litigation, fraud, or third-party claims.
✅ All historical transactions and ownership records are legally valid.
✅ The title complies with land revenue laws and local property regulations.
Our team of experienced real estate lawyers conducts thorough due diligence to verify the authenticity of property titles before you proceed with a transaction.
2. Why is Title Verification Important?
