Investopedia explains 'Perfect Title'

Most properties are bought and sold with perfect or good titles. It is often necessary to perform a title search to find out the past owners of a property to make sure no other interests in the property exist. Perfecting a title is the process of clearing all prior claims on a title to allow for its sale or assignment.
