FAQs

What is a title opinion?

A title opinion is a legal document provided by an attorney that assesses the ownership of a property and identifies any potential issues or claims against it. It is based on a review of public land records and helps determine if the title is clear and marketable.

How can I prove errors in a title opinion?

To prove errors in a title opinion, you need to gather factual evidence from land records. This can include documents like deeds, surveys, or court records that contradict the claims made in the title opinion. Presenting this evidence to the attorney who issued the opinion or to a court can help in contesting the opinion.

What happens if I contest a title opinion?

If you contest a title opinion, the process may involve presenting your evidence to the attorney who issued it or pursuing legal action in court. The goal is to resolve the discrepancies identified in the title opinion. If successful, this may lead to a revised title opinion or a resolution of the title issues.

Can I hire a different attorney to review a title opinion?

Yes, you can hire a different attorney to review a title opinion. A new attorney can provide a fresh perspective and may identify errors or issues that the original attorney missed. This can be beneficial if you are considering contesting the title opinion.

What are common errors in title opinions?

Common errors in title opinions include incorrect property descriptions, failure to identify liens or encumbrances, and overlooking easements or rights of way. These errors can affect property ownership and may need to be corrected to ensure a clear title.
