What is Absolute Title?

What is Absolute Title?

Absolute title or perfect title is the best kind of property title a registered proprietor or owner can have. It represents that the ownership interest is independent and free from lien, judgment, or attachment.

Back To: Real Estate, Personal, & Intellectual Property

In law, business, and real estate, a property title search is a way of identifying ownership interests or historical events affecting a piece of real property. A title agent is a specialist who searches through public land records and investigates to ensure the property seller owns a legal interest in the real estate he or she is selling. If a person has absolute title of real property, he or she has full ownership of the land in the eyes of the law. A person can have absolute title to a lease or leasehold estate (fixed period of ownership) and freehold (unlimited time length of ownership) properties. For a person to be granted absolute title, the property must be certified at the local real property registry (register of deeds), which is a government office that records land sales and transfer of ownership.
