Ownership & Title Data

Ownership and title data identifies who legally owns a property at any given time and traces the full history of that ownership back through time (chain of title). In the US, this data is recorded at the county recorder or register of deeds office and includes warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and grant deeds. A critical challenge in the US market is that a large proportion of commercial and investment properties are held in LLCs, trusts, or other corporate structures, making true owner identification a specialized data product in its own right.
