Today, most websites that claim to sell you one of these titles use the honorable “gentleman” or “lady.” Titles can be identified to meet a number of client requirements, including searching for titles by ancestral surname, geographic location, certain ranks that other providers cannot find, titles assigned for specific reasons or certain types of people from a particular era in history or by a particular monarch. The business of titles of nobility – some more legitimate than others – is growing with dozens of websites selling securities and businesses wherever you turn. Since many titles are bought as gifts, the certificate of title itself is deliberately attractive. Many clients frame and display their certificates at home (and we`ve only ever received praise for the quality of the documentation we provide). Count or Countess is a rank recognized throughout Europe, usually just below the dukes who hold the highest rank of nobility. Such titles, which imply a high level of gravity, are traditionally associated with great wealth and power, which gives real prestige to those who can consider themselves as such. The price of securities also seems to be falling. Previously, the current price was $10,000, but the last 28 seigneuries cost about $5,000. The Earl of Shannon and Lord DeFreyne were the greatest bestsellers of the past, each offering nine titles. Both men have sold their inheritance in the past. Traditional women`s titles are less likely to be bought and sold, so there is less information about the cost of buying a women`s stock. However, the cost involved is very similar, as you usually only get a Lady of the Manor title when you buy a mansion.
But beware: some so-called securities services offer titles by changing their name. These titles are “intangibles,” that is, they are “incapable of physical possession” (similar to copyrights or patents). This is different from the title change service offered by Elite. Also, you`ll find that manor titles are considerably more expensive than the £195 we charge. The average price of a Manorial stock ranges from: £6,000 to £7,000, but some have opted for much more. For example, Earl Spencer`s title of Lord of Wimbledon sold for £171,000 in the 1990s. Over the past decade, many titles have been listed and sold, including: the Earl of Shannon, who sold the lordships of Erylston and Monyho in County Kilkenny, Kilmehide in County Carlow and Abbeystowry, Lislee Temple, Court McSherry, Raheens, Kilnaglary and Tubbrids in County Cork. Laird is a Scottish word translated into English as Lord. Laird titles were traditional courtesy titles granted to Scottish landowners and people who worked on the estate.
In fact, the word Laird means “landowner.” With this definition in mind, you may be wondering whether owning land in Scotland makes you a Lord, a Laird or a Lady? Owning land means you can style yourself as a lair or lady, but of course, it`s not the same as a barony title and doesn`t make you a peer of the kingdom. This is because the title change service offered by Elite Titles is a legal title change. Once you have received your legal documents, instead of a gentleman/woman/miss, etc., you are a gentleman/lady/baroness, etc. (depending on the title you have chosen). But it`s a subtly different service. That`s because instead of being legally called Lord John Smith, for example, you`d be called Mr. Lord John Smith (where the title actually becomes your first name). Therefore, it`s always worth checking out exactly how your new title is created. A quick internet search revealed some really amazing “titles” for sale. I`m not going to link to these sites to stop promoting them, but here are some examples of what`s offered for sale: Lord/Lady $112,500, Baron/Baroness $142,500, Count/Countess $127,500, Marquis/Marchioness $142,500, and Prince/Princess $150,000.
When you buy a title through Elite Titles, you are legally changing your title (Mr., Mrs., Miss, part of your last name), NOT your first name. I decided to get to the bottom of this big lucrative and often shady business of buying and selling securities, I turned to Richard Bradford, who runs the Fake TITLES site, and he told me: “Unfortunately, practically everything on the Internet is a scam, the only real title you can buy is a Scottish feudal barony, For this reason, they start at around $100,000 upwards, although there may be a limit to the trading time of these. Scottish feudal baronies were expensive; Barony MacDonald was for sale for over $2 million. It turned out that Lord and Lady Marr were actually Robert and Ewa Lucas-Gardiner.
