Title problems can range from simple clerical errors to serious ownership disputes, but most can be resolved before closing with the right legal help. Common issues include outstanding liens, boundary disputes, missing signatures on previous deeds, or errors in public records. We order a title search early in the process to identify any problems, then work with the title company and other parties to resolve them. In most cases, issues get cleared up through documentation, lien payoffs, or corrective deeds. If problems can’t be resolved, we’ll advise whether to proceed, renegotiate, or walk away.
