Understanding title defects that affect property transfers.
A cloud on title is any claim, lien, or encumbrance that affects clear ownership of real property and must be resolved before the property can be sold.
Clouds on title include unpaid liens, judgments, improperly recorded documents, missing heirs, and boundary disputes.
Clearing a cloud typically requires paying the lien, obtaining a release, or pursuing legal action to quiet title.
An attorney can help clear title issues through proper legal channels.
