What Is a Property Title Search?
A property title search is a legal procedure that confirms the ownership of the land or property. It disclarges:
- Who the rightful owner of the property is
- Whether the property has hidden issues like claims, debts, or encumbrances
- Whether the seller has the right to sell the property
- If the title is clean and can be sold
The service is absolutely necessary for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who decide to purchase, inherit, or sell a property either in India or Canada, as it allows them to keep their interests safe.
Why NRIs in Canada Need Property Title Search Services
1. To Prevent Fraudulent Transactions
Fraud is a very high risk for those who conduct transactions without the presence of the buyer or the heirs. There may be forgery of ownership documents, deceit of boundaries, or sale of properties to which the seller does not have the legal right. A title search will make you aware of a scam before you finalise a deal.
2. To Confirm Legal Ownership
The current owner or someone who claims he is the owner may not have their name on the title of that property. A title search facts through government-registered records and mutation entries that the sale is made to the rightful owner, thus avoiding future disputes.
3. To Detect Legal Encumbrances
Our investigation and search uncover any registered charges, mortgages, or liens that could serve as obstacles to the sale or transfer of your property.
4. To Avoid Buying Disputed Land
If at all the confusion arises from the situation where there are many parties claiming ownership or the legal heirs are not added to the revenue records. We reveal such claims by looking at documents from civil and family courts that are linked to this particular property.
5. To Fulfill Legal and Financial Compliance
Legal transactions, courts, and banks generally condition having a clean title on the property. If you have a title search report issued from a certified source, then your chances of getting the loan and selling or dividing the property will be much more comfortable.
6. To Support Inheritance or Partition Cases
As an NRI heir, make sure that the title to the property is continuous from your ancestors when claiming it. We obtain historical ownership documents for you so that you can use them to register, mutate, or sell the land inherited from your parents in India.
What’s Included in Our Property Title Search Report
- Government Certified Ownership Details: We obtain the latest registration of ownership from the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) or online land records to verify the name of the rightful owner.
- Encumbrance Certificate (EC) Review: The aim of the document is to disclose the fact that the property is be the subject of a mortgage, a pledge, or other types of encumbrances. We get it from the SRO and then go through the document to see if any issues come up.
- Chain of Title (Past Ownership History): An uninterrupted list of previous owners is provided, normally dating back 30 years, to reveal no illegal transfers or breaks in history.
- Mutation Records and Tax Status: We verify that the property has been lawfully registered in the current owner’s name and that all property tax payments are up to date.
- Site & Survey Map Reports: For instance, if a person owns a large plot of land to which a survey number has been assigned, we verify the boundaries and the survey number with the land and revenue department.
- Legal Case or Dispute Check: We inquire if there is or there was any case (civil or criminal) affecting the ownership of the land or the right of its use, which is either still open or has been closed in the past.
