Samantha Belzer and Blaine Basler on Team Luxury and Coastal at Lawyers Title San Diego explain the most common title clearance problems, and how they might impact your transaction. When you’re purchasing a home, you want the tile to be delivered as clean as possible. If there are any issues with the title, it can slow down the home buying process.
The following are a list of some of the most common title clearance issues; however, every property tells a different story. Typical title clearance problems include…
• Establishing Fact of Death – Joint Tenancy
• Power of Attorney – Use of Proper Execution
• Physical Inspection Results – Encroachment, Off-Record Easements
• Clearing Leans or Judgements on the property or
• Clearing child or spousal support liens
• Probates
• Transfer/Loans involving Corporations/Partnerships
• Bankruptcies or Foreclosures
• Proper execution of documents such as grantees compare to trustors, proper jurats, notary seals
• Last minute change in buyers or title coverage
• Recent construction
• If the property is in a trust
While these are some of the most common title clearance problems that we run into, there are certainly more that aren't on this list. The items listed will require added clearance and processing time for title and escrow, which could delay the sale.
So how can you get ahead of the game, and make sure you avoid these issues? The answer is simple: avoid delays by providing as much information as possible on any of the items in question. If you ever have questions about a property, Lawyers Title would be happy to run a title report for you.
