Title problems · quoted flat
Clearing a title that won't close
We read the title commitment first, then quote the fix flat. The quote comes before any work.
Unreleased liens
A loan paid off years ago that the public record still shows as open.
Name and signature errors
A misspelled name, a missing spouse's signature, a notary block left blank.
Boundary and survey gaps
A fence or driveway that crosses a line the deed never accounted for.
Heirs on the title
A house still in a late parent's name, and every heir who has to sign.
Corrective deeds
Drafted, signed and recorded to fix the one on file.
Quiet title cases
When paperwork can't fix it, a court case can. We quote the filing flat; court costs are separate.
Of counsel
Marjorie Pruett reads the record behind the problem
Marjorie spent her first decade in practice reading title for lenders before she joined the firm. She reads your commitment and the recorded documents behind it, tells you what's wrong in plain words, and sends the flat quote to fix it.
Title questions we hear
My closing is next week. Is that enough time?
Sometimes. A missing release can often be fixed in days. Heir and boundary problems usually take longer, and we'll tell you so in the quote.
Who pays to clear the title, buyer or seller?
Usually the seller, who promised clear title in the contract. Your contract decides, and we'll read it for you.
How is this different from title insurance?
Title insurance pays for certain losses after closing. Clearing title fixes the problem in the public record, so it's gone for the next buyer too.
