What major considerations do we look for in the chain of title? 

The quality of the deed and other documents.

• Marriages and divorces.

• Death of a former owner.

• Age or mental competence of an owner.

• Encumbrances or limitations imposed on the property.

A defect in the title of a previous owner can affect a new owner's title. Defects, depending on the degree of seriousness, need to be corrected or removed in order to make the safe transfer of title possible.
