When you’re buying or selling a home, nothing is more frustrating than a delayed closing—especially when you’re packed, scheduled, and ready to move. While financing or inspection issues get a lot of attention, title problems are one of the most common—and costly—reasons closings get pushed back.
At Concierge Title, we specialize in smooth, on-time closings, and part of that means spotting title red flags before they become closing-day disasters. Here are the most common title issues and how we help you avoid them:
🚩 1. Unreleased Liens
The Problem: A past mortgage, contractor lien, or tax lien wasn’t properly released in the public records.
How We Help: Our experienced examiners thoroughly review public records and work with lien holders to get timely releases or payoffs—before your closing is scheduled.
🚩 2. Errors in Public Records
The Problem: Typos in names, addresses, or legal descriptions can throw a wrench into title searches or insurance.
How We Help: We flag and correct recording issues early, so your title commitment is accurate and your policy is clean.
🚩 3. Undisclosed Heirs or Probate Issues
The Problem: When someone passes away, their interest in a property must be legally transferred. If this isn’t handled correctly, it can delay or block a sale.
How We Help: We verify all ownership transfers and coordinate with attorneys or probate courts if needed—so your deal doesn’t stall unexpectedly.
🚩 4. Boundary or Survey Disputes
The Problem: Neighboring properties may encroach on yours—or vice versa. Discrepancies in survey lines can create confusion or even lawsuits.
How We Help: We work with licensed surveyors and review surveys with care, alerting you to potential problems up front. We also offer optional survey coverage for added peace of mind.
🚩 5. Missing Signatures or Uncooperative Sellers
The Problem: A previous co-owner never signed off—or a power of attorney wasn’t valid.
How We Help: We verify all necessary parties and documents long before closing day. Our team works quickly to resolve signature issues and ensure valid authority for all transactions.
