Title Issues

Title issues often fall into the following categories:

Errors in Public Records - Clerical mistakes or incomplete documentation in public records can create ownership disputes.

Unresolved Liens - Outstanding debts such as mortgages, tax liens, or contractor liens may encumber the property.

Boundary Disputes - Unclear property lines can lead to disagreements with neighbors over land ownership.

Illegal Deeds - Previous transfers involving fraud or incompetency may affect the validity of the title.

Missing Heirs - Unidentified heirs may emerge with legal claims to the property, complicating ownership transfers.

Resolving title issues often involves legal remedies such as:

Title Searches - Comprehensive reviews of public records to identify and address title defects.

Title Insurance - Policies that protect against financial loss from title defects or ownership disputes.

Quiet Title Actions - Legal proceedings to establish ownership and clear claims or encumbrances.

Lien Resolution - Negotiating or paying off liens to ensure clear title transfer.

Boundary Agreements - Settling disputes with neighbors through negotiated agreements or court orders.

Title issues can be complex and time-consuming due to:

Uncovering Hidden Claims - Identifying all potential claims, especially those not immediately apparent in public records.

Resolving Historical Disputes - Addressing long-standing ownership disputes or encumbrances.
