The Importance of Thorough Title Work

Real estate title work is an essential yet often undervalued step in the property acquisition process. It requires a detailed examination of public records to confirm the seller's legal authority to transfer ownership and to identify any claims, liens, or encumbrances that might compromise the buyer's rights. At CLS Law Firm, we emphasize the critical role of meticulous title work in safeguarding your investment in real estate.

Navigating Complex Title Challenges

Our expertise in title work allows us to uncover and address complex issues that could affect the transaction, from undisclosed easements to unresolved liens, ensuring our clients can make informed decisions and secure transactions.
  • Uncovering Historical Easements: In the case of purchasing historic properties, we might find previously unknown easements, such as public access rights, which could influence the buyer’s decision or terms of sale.
  • Resolving Liens on Commercial Properties: Discovering liens from unpaid bills by previous owners necessitates immediate action to clear these before proceeding, ensuring the property transaction can move forward without legal hindrances.

Resolving Title Disputes

Beyond identifying title issues, our work focuses on resolving these challenges in ways that safeguard the buyer’s interests, from boundary disputes to facilitating the purchase of title insurance for additional protection.
  • Dispute Resolution and Negotiations: If a title search reveals boundary disputes, we engage in negotiations, possibly with surveyors and mediators, to definitively resolve the issue, ensuring clear property boundaries.
  • Facilitating Title Insurance Purchase: We guide our clients through purchasing title insurance, explaining the benefits of standard versus enhanced policies, offering protection against unforeseen title issues post-purchase.
