Potential Title Issues
Title disputes can happen for a variety of reasons, including the following:
- Problems with deed language
- Errors in the paperwork and/or the deed itself
- Encroachment from neighboring properties, such as structures built over the property line
- A fence that has been built over the line or without considering the setback
- Old easements that have not been used but that still technically exist
- Joint property owners on the same title
- Joint owners who are not designated properly in the official paperwork
- Former property owners who have passed away
- Joint property owners who have inherited that property
There are usually resolutions to all of these issues, such as specifying exactly who is a property owner and if they have to right to sell that property on their own – or if they need to work with other joint owners to do so. These types of disputes may arise when buying residential homes, duplexes, warehouses, undeveloped or raw land, industrial buildings, factories and other residential and commercial property.
