Glossary

# Title Deed

A legal document that proves a person's right to ownership of a property, forming part of the chain of title from the original owner.

## What is a Title Deed?

Title Deed is an umbrella term for any registered document that proves ownership of a property. It can be a Sale Deed, Gift Deed, Partition Deed, Will, or Court Decree. Each subsequent transfer of the property creates a new link in the title chain. The current title deed, combined with all previous deeds back to the Mother Deed, establishes the complete ownership history of the property.

## Title chain verification

Verifying the title chain involves tracing ownership from the Mother Deed to the current owner through every registered transaction. Each link must be a properly registered document with no gaps or inconsistencies. Unregistered gaps weaken the title and may make it unmarketable. A property lawyer examines every deed in the chain, checking for proper execution, adequate consideration, and legal capacity of the parties involved.

## Title Deed vs Patta

The Title Deed is the transaction document that proves HOW ownership was acquired — through sale, gift, inheritance, or court order. The Patta is the revenue record that confirms WHO currently owns the land as recognized by the government. Both are needed for clear title: the Title Deed establishes legal ownership through private transaction, while the Patta reflects that ownership in government revenue records. A mismatch between the two indicates an incomplete mutation or records discrepancy.
