A Title Deed is more than just paperwork—it’s the legal heartbeat of your property. It proves who truly owns the property, outlines rights, and protects you from future disputes.
What It Includes:
-
Owner’s name and rights
-
Property description and location
-
History of ownership or transfers
-
Legal obligations (if any)
Why It Matters:
-
Proof of Ownership: Without it, your claim to the property is legally weak.
-
Essential for Sale or Transfer: No valid deed = no valid transaction.
-
Protects Against Fraud: Ensures no one else can falsely claim your property.
How to Verify a Title Deed:
-
Check registration at the Sub-Registrar’s Office
-
Match details with Encumbrance Certificate
-
Use state land record portals for digital verification (many states now offer this)
