But there also was no title company that obtained an affidavit of title from the previous owner, previous owner could've owned a contiguous lot that was an issue, been prevented from selling your lot by deed restriction, or easement, there could have been fraud or forgery or someone that claimed to be the manager of a company or an executor of an estate...or how about if a seller sells to you and sells the same property to another buyer, he takes both of your money and too bad if you don't get recorded first (I actually handled a major litigation when I was clerking in law school about that.
