    A title search report is important when buying a new home. It provides details of any liens, easements, and encroachments against the house that you intend to buy.

Also, the title search report reveals if the seller has the right to sell the house.

A real estate lawyer is tasked with preparing all the legal documents including purchase contracts, mortgage agreements, and helping new homeowners obtain a title deed.
