Granular Focus
Title search analysis and registered property rights impact assessment (subset of acquisition due diligence expertise).

Title Search Fundamentals
Purpose and Scope
Title search: Systematic review of registered property interests to establish:
- Chain of ownership: Who owns the property and for how long
- Encumbrances: What restrictions and interests burden the property
- Priority order: Which interests rank first, second, etc. (determines payment order on default)
- Defects: Registration errors, missing signatures, or procedural deficiencies
- Marketability: Whether property can be freely bought/sold or faces restrictions
Jurisdictional variation:
- Ontario: Land Titles System (LTS) - state-guaranteed title, search via Land Titles Act registers
