02

Real estate law and paperwork in the United States is set state by state, not federally — a county recorder's chain-of-title search in New York looks nothing like one in Texas, and California, Florida, and Washington each carry their own disclosure and closing conventions on top. Estate Ulagam's checklist follows that same structure: which records our desk asks for changes from state to state, not just from country to country.

Cross-Border Legal Briefing

Foreign Ownership & Non-Resident Acquisition in United States

Statutory Matrix

Under federal law, foreign nationals can purchase residential and commercial real estate without citizenship requirements. However, foreign agricultural holdings are monitored under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA). Non-resident sellers are subject to FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) withholding of 15% on gross disposition proceeds. State-level restrictions apply (e.g., Florida SB 264 restricting certain foreign acquisitions near military installations and critical infrastructure; Texas and other states regulating agricultural tracts).

Governing Body

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) & State Licensing Boards

Primary Statute

Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601) & FTC Truth in Advertising Rules

Title Instruments

General Warranty Deed / Grant Deed (Recorded in County Registry), Title Commitment & ALTA Owner's Title Insurance Policy

The desk

What we ask for, and why

03

Every United States submission is checked against the same working set of records before it can be reviewed for publication, governed by Uniform Commercial Code & State Real Estate Licensing Commission Rules. None of this is a substitute for independent legal advice — it is the paperwork our desk asks an advertiser to produce, and cross-checks before an advertisement goes live.

Chain of title

County Recorder of Deeds chain-of-title & parcel identification validation.

Tax & lien check

Property tax assessment, municipal clear-lien, and HOA status check.

Identity match

Seller identity matching via government ID & registered grant deed.

Closing disclosure

Standardized statutory closing disclosure and broker license verification.

Estate Ulagam reviews submitted advertising materials and documents before publication.
