Can someone answer this for me. Searches are giving me conflicting info.
If you buy a house and the land it is on, you'd have 2 documents, right? (Title and deed)
@Lucky188 Thank you!
@Graci Yes. Read before you sign. Make sure there's no property lien and thoroughly decribes the house and acreage.Must be notarized and both parties Seller and buyer sign. If you're not certain, be safe and take the docs to have your attorney look them over. That's your right. If title compsny says you're not allowed...RUN.
@Kittiekatt53 Just doing writing research. Thanks!!
@Graci
This is not necessarily applicable in NC but does describe the difference between deed and title in Texas.
As it pertains to real estate, legally speaking, a Deed “evidences” title or ownership to the property.

@Graci A deed is a physical legal document used to confirm or convey the ownership rights to a property signed by both the buyer and the grantor/seller.
The Title is the legal way of saying you have property ownership.
The title (or property title) 'is not a document', but a legal construct that says you have the rights to use that property.
