Palm Beach county title company screw ups
Short story and one question.
In the middle of a sale of my parents condo and it's been 5 months and we have not closed due to title companie's lack of communication, instruction and then bringing an outside attorney into the fold to assist that has dragged this on even further. We were fortunate to have an extension on this matter. It requires a corrective deed to be done by a family member who is the one who was part of the original deed disaster and why a corrective deed is required to be signed by him. He will no longer deal with the title company and this lawyer so I have chosen to seek a new attorney based title company to be sure no more legal issues arise to delay this further since the family member will sign but not to these people. Faith in their ability to create an air tight title policy has him geniunely concerned and so we move on.
My question is do I have to pay the title company who has done all the work up to this point? And if so what would I owe them? I know I have the right to change title companies and I will as I will not lose the buyer over someone elses errors.
