A title report is a legal document showing the written analysis of real property. It is the history of the property and is done when property is to be transferred from present owner to buyer.
The report is normally done by a title company, an attornery, an abstracter or an escrow company. It shows the legal status of real property and includes the description, location, names of previous and present holders, how the title is held, any encumbrances (mortgages, liens, deed of trust, recorded judgments, unpaid taxes), easements, encroachments, restrictions on property, boundary concerns or any other claims against property.
