Mac Martinson: Title examination is important because it will determine the status of a title for the real estate that you’re going to purchase. The title examination is a complete study of the real property records of the courthouse to determine if there are tax liens, if there are judgments, if there are mortgages, if there are missing heirs, if there are missing items in a transaction that occurred before your purchase.The title examination is what will give you piece of mind, and also allow you the opportunity to buy title insurance.
