"Perfecting title" refers to the legal process of removing any "clouds" or claims against a real estate title, ensuring that the property has a clear and legally sound ownership status. This often involves actions such as paying off liens, resolving disputes, obtaining quitclaim deeds, and addressing other title defects. The goal is to ensure that the title is marketable and can be transferred without any legal challenges to the ownership rights.
