What happens if a title search uncovers a lien or judgment against my property?

Don’t worry – discovering issues before closing is the main purpose of a title search. A lien or judgment means a third party holds a legal claim for an unpaid debt needing clearance before ownership transfers. We manage this behind the scenes: verifying the debt, ensuring the seller pays it from sale proceeds at closing, and securing an official release. If disputed, we establish escrow holdbacks to keep your closing on schedule.
