TITLE SEARCH
The process of examining official county records to determine whether an owner's rights in real property are good.
A title search is conducted to discover whether there are any defects in the ownership of a particular tract of land. An abstract of title, prepared by the examiner subsequent to such an investigation, is a condensed history of the title to the land.
