What is Title?

What is Title?

The property’s title serves as evidence of ownership, and it’s essential in a mortgage transaction because it determines who has the legal right to possess and use the property. Before approving a mortgage loan, the lender will usually conduct a title search to verify that the seller has a clear and marketable title, meaning there are no legal issues or encumbrances (such as liens, unpaid taxes, or claims from other parties) that could affect the borrower’s ownership rights.
Once the mortgage is approved and the loan is closed, the lender typically places a lien on the property. This lien gives the lender the right to foreclose and take possession of the property if the borrower fails to repay the loan according to the terms of the mortgage agreement. However, once the mortgage is fully paid off, the lien is released, and the borrower obtains clear title to the property, free from any encumbrances related to the mortgage.
