Description
Title defects are like automotive problems: They pop up at the worst times, can be hard to fix, and are expensive to repair. In this real estate workshop, you will learn how to diagnose title defects, determine the right fix, and use the toolbox at your disposal to resolve the problem – with or without litigation.
What You’ll Learn:
• How to identify, investigate, and unravel title defects ranging from incorrect legal descriptions to decades-old defective conveyances to long-expired deeds of trust, including how to read and trace legal descriptions
• How to correct title defects without litigation, including through re-recordings, affidavits, corrected deeds, title insurance, and lot combinations
• How to resolve title defects through litigation, including quiet title actions, informal probates, special actions, private condemnation, and actions for reformation
