How do title and deed problems happen?

Title and deed problems typically happen through unresolved liens, boundary disputes, missing heirs on an inherited property, clerical errors in old recordings, or in rarer cases, outright fraud like a forged deed filed without the real owner's knowledge. A thorough title search before closing catches most of these issues while there's still time to resolve them. Brian Beatty orders title work early on every contract specifically to surface these problems before they threaten a closing date.
