TITLE ISSUE - HELP PLEASE

[Louise L.]

We bought a property in Florida in January 22

6 weeks later we get an email from title insurance saying there was an issue and basically it was a mother and daughter who owned the property but only the mother put her name as the seller. So the daughter has not signed.

They tried contacting them then end of June send a quit deed claim overnight. It was received but no response from them. The title insurer said she was going to speak to an attorney and she would provide us with their details for us to contact them - are we just supposed to deal with this now? It doesn't seem right?

Also what even is the process? Can this be resolved or can we lose the home? If we lose it what with the title insurance cover? We've put a new roof on and done renovations inside and out. Plus the appreciation.

Any help or insight greatly appreciated.

@Louise L.

If you have title insurance it will be the title company who deals with this and correcting the issue

No you will not lose the home. If they cannot get the prior seller to sign then they will do what is called quiet title.

You should get a letter from the title company of the issue and confirmation they are taking responsibility for the issue.
