What Is a Title Defect?
A title defect is any issue with a property’s title that prevents it from being legally transferred or financed. Common title defects include:
- Missing or incorrect legal descriptions
- Unknown liens or judgments
- Errors in public records
- Undisclosed heirs or ownership disputes
- Improperly executed deeds
- Forged or fraudulent documents
These problems can be frustrating, but they don’t have to stop your real estate deal. With the right legal assistance, most title defects can be resolved efficiently.
Non-Litigation Title Curative Methods
Many title issues can be fixed without going to court, saving time and money. Some of the most effective non-litigation solutions include:
- Corrective Deeds – If a previous deed contains errors (such as a misspelled name or incorrect legal description), a new deed can be recorded to correct the mistake.
- Lien Releases – If a lien remains on the title due to an oversight, our team can help obtain a satisfaction or release from the lienholder.
- Affidavits of Heirship – If a previous owner has passed away, an affidavit can be recorded to clarify rightful ownership.
- Quiet Title Agreements – Sometimes, a dispute can be resolved by an agreement between parties rather than through a lawsuit.
- Title Insurance Claims – In some cases, title insurance policies can help cover the cost of fixing defects.
By using these approaches, we aim to clear up title defects as efficiently as possible, allowing your transaction to proceed without unnecessary delays.
Litigation-Based Title Curative Methods
While we always strive for out-of-court solutions, some title issues require legal action. In these cases, Brickhaven.Legal can provide litigation services to clear title defects through the courts. Litigation-based solutions may include:
- Quiet Title Actions – If there’s uncertainty about who owns a property, a quiet title lawsuit can be filed to legally confirm ownership.
- Partition Actions – When multiple parties claim ownership, a partition action can be used to divide or settle the dispute.
- Probate Court Proceedings – If a deceased owner’s estate was never properly transferred, probate court intervention may be needed to establish rightful ownership.
- Foreclosure or Release of Liens – If a lienholder refuses to release an invalid lien, a court order may be necessary to remove it.
These legal actions can take time, but they ensure that title defects are fully and legally resolved, providing long-term protection for property owners and buyers.
