What Are Title and Deed Services?

When it comes to real property, legal ownership is defined through the title, and the deed is the legal document that transfers that title. Understanding the difference and ensuring both are properly executed is essential in any estate planning or real estate transaction. Titles confirm ownership, while deeds are the formal, recorded instruments that legally convey that ownership from one party to another.

Why Proper Title & Deed Handling Matters

Errors, omissions, or delays in transferring property titles or recording deeds can cause significant legal complications for your estate and your heirs. Whether you are adding a spouse to a property title, transferring property into a trust, or ensuring proper recording as part of an estate plan, accuracy and compliance with California law are critical. Improperly recorded deeds can result in probate delays, tax issues, or disputes over rightful ownership.
