@David M. Thank you! 

In Ontario, we have a Land Titles Registry which is administered and guaranteed by the provincial government. You can basically look up the property in the registry and be secure that the listed owner is the owner. I gather this is not the case is most US states? I'm just beginning to investigate buying property in the States and I couldn't figure out what the point of escrow was, but if that's the case, it makes way more sense.
