In short
A third-party company that ensures clear legal ownership of real estate and facilitates its transfer, often handling escrow funds.
If your acquisition includes real estate, the title company will research property records to ensure no hidden liens or claims exist. They also typically manage the closing process for the real estate portion, disbursing funds and recording the new ownership. This protects both you and the lender.
