What is the primary purpose of the title for a manufactured home?

The primary purpose of the title for a manufactured home is to prove ownership of the manufactured home. A title acts as a legal document that indicates who owns the property and provides essential details about the home, such as its identification number, model, and manufacturer. This document is crucial when it comes to transactions involving the home, such as selling, transferring, or registering the manufactured home. It serves as a key piece of evidence in establishing legal ownership, thereby protecting the rights of the owner and ensuring that ownership is clearly defined in any future dealings with the property.

While a title may provide additional information, such as the home’s specifications, it is not primarily intended as a marketing tool, tax document, or residency establishment. Other documents and processes would be utilized for those purposes.
