What is the difference between deed and title on a home?

[Keegan Darby]

I am buying a home to which the seller doesn't have the title. They are able to access the deed. But, will I need the title to move forward? How might they obtain this?

@Keegan Darby the deed is the physical document conveying title and title is the legal ownership in the property.  So they have the physical document, but the seller doesn't have title/actually own it?  Are they wholesaling the property?
