A muniment of title is a legal document used to prove ownership of real property, such as land or real estate. It serves as evidence of a person’s right to possess and use the property and typically includes deeds, wills, court orders, or other relevant documents that establish a chain of title. Muniments of title are often kept by property owners or their legal representatives and may be required during real estate transactions or legal disputes to demonstrate ownership and convey property rights. In some jurisdictions, the term “muniment of title” specifically refers to a probated will that establishes ownership of real property.
