Picking up the official deed

Sole ownership

one person holds complete control over the property.

Joint tenancy

It involves two or more persons sharing equal property ownership with rights of survivorship. If a joint tenant passes away, their share automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenants.

Tenancy in common

It allows individuals to own a property together without rights of survivorship. It offers flexibility in ownership shares, which can be unequal.

Title to real property is a basic concept of property law. Title deeds and documents are legal papers proving your right to own real property and are vital during a real estate transaction. These documents show legal ownership of tangible property. They detail the property’s history, including previous ownership and changes in ownership structure. The deed is the document that actually transfers the property from one party to another.
