title companies
Ownership verification firms
Title companies handle the legal transfer of real estate ownership.
They research property records to verify that sellers actually own what they're selling and that no liens, disputes, or encumbrances cloud the title.
At closing, they facilitate the transaction and issue title insurance protecting buyers and lenders against undiscovered defects: The title company found an old easement that nearly killed the deal.
