Title issues -- does anyone have experience/wisdom?
I recently bought a piece of property in my hometown. Prior to closing, there was some issue clearing the title. Not sure what exactly the issue was, but I do know the seller was one of those Quiet Claim deed companies.
I closed in July. Still have no deed in hand (I paid cash).
My agent reached out to the attorney's office and now I have this email from them:
"We received the recorded deed back from the court, but upon receipt and review for issuance of the owner's title policy, noted the legal description did not contain enough identifying information. Accordingly, we prepared and send to the seller a corrective LWD. We felt this necessary in order not to place a cloud on the title from this point forward. As soon as the executed deed is returned, we will forward to the court for recording. Upon receipt of the corrective deed, we will forward along with the owner's title policy."
Can anyone translate that for me? Is it literally that the LWD could have been missing one tiny piece of information?
