What is a title examination? Is it important?

Title Examination

A title examination or title search is a crucial part of the homebuying process. It is a close examination of all public records that involve title to the Florida real estate you are purchasing. The person conducting the search looks at past deeds, wills, and trusts to make sure the "chain of title" has passed correctly to each new owner. The examiner also tries to verify that all prior mortgages, judgments, and other liens have been paid in full.
