🔹 FAQ: Title Issues & Legal Complications
Can you buy a house with title problems in Florida?
Yes. We have extensive experience buying houses with title issues, including liens, judgments, ownership disputes, and probate-related complications. One case in particular was a house in Fort Myers, Florida. The chain of title was really messed up from over 40 years ago. Our title agent was able to track down the original owner in her 80’s and get a document signed up that was needed in order to proceed!
What types of title issues can you help with?
Creating Real Estate Solutions LLC works closely with a team of title agents who regularly handle properties with:
- Liens or judgments
- Code enforcement violations
- Unreleased mortgages
- Errors in public records
- Probate or heirship issues
- Clouds on title requiring resolution
What is a quiet title action, and do I need one?
A quiet title action is a legal process used to resolve ownership disputes or defects in the title. Not every situation requires one, but if needed, we work with professionals who can help determine the best path forward.
Will title issues prevent me from selling my house?
Not necessarily. Many title issues can be resolved during the transaction. In some cases, we are able to purchase the property and handle the resolution after closing.
Do I need to fix title issues before contacting you?
No. You can contact us even if you’re unsure what title issues exist. We’ll review the situation and help you understand your options.
Who pays for title work and closing costs?
In many cases, we cover standard closing costs and coordinate directly with the title company to ensure a smooth transaction.
