Escrow & Title

In Georgia, a 'final title search' is conducted just before closing to ensure:

AA. The property's price has not changed
BB. No new liens or encumbrances have been recorded against the property since the initial title search✓ Correct
CC. The buyer's financing is in order
DD. The appraisal value supports the purchase price

Explanation

A final (date-down) title search is performed immediately before closing to ensure no new liens (judgment liens, contractor liens, etc.) have been recorded since the earlier title search. This protects all parties at the time of closing.
