    • Title Issues

You might be here because…

  • A title issue was discovered late and my closing is now delayed 
  • Ownership of the property isn’t clear
  • I inherited property and don’t know what needs to be fixed
  • Old deeds, liens, or mortgages were never properly resolved
  • The title company or lender says there’s a problem but hasn’t explained a solution
  • I’m buying a distressed or off-market property and want to understand the risk
  • I can’t move forward until the title issue is addressed

Title problems rarely improve with time. Legal review expands your options.


Do Not Wait Until the Closing Falls Apart

If a deal is stalled or ownership is unclear, legal review now can prevent greater cost later.

If you have a transaction under contract or one approaching now is the time to get legal review in place.

When title issues threaten the deal, we step in.

Title problems are one of the most common reasons real estate transactions stall or collapse—often late in the process, when time and leverage are limited.

Stratera Legal focuses on identifying, resolving, and curing title issues so transactions can move forward or ownership can be clarified.

 Many title issues cannot be resolved through administrative fixes alone.


When problems involve:

  • Ownership disputes
  • Estate or trust complications
  • Defective conveyances
  • Prior transactions that were never properly completed
     

legal analysis and corrective action are required.


Stratera Legal bridges the gap between title review and legal resolution.
