A title opinion is a legal assessment of a property's title, conducted by an attorney, to determine if there are any ownership issues, liens, or legal restrictions that could affect the property's use or sale. If you are buying, selling, or investing in real estate, a title opinion provides peace of mind by ensuring the title is clear and legally valid.

You may need a title opinion if:

• You are purchasing a property and want to confirm there are no legal claims or issues.

• You are applying for financing, and the lender requires a legal review of the title.

• You are preparing to sell a property and need to verify ownership and legal standing.

• There are concerns about past transactions, such as errors in deeds or missing signatures.

• The property has liens, judgments, or easements that could impact ownership rights.

• You want to ensure that the title is free from disputes before making a major investment.
