title documents

Property ownership records

Title documents are the legal papers that establish ownership of property—typically real estate or vehicles.

They include deeds, certificates of title, and related records showing the chain of ownership and any claims against the property: The bank holds the title documents until the mortgage is paid off.

In real estate transactions, title documents are examined to ensure the seller has clear authority to transfer ownership.
