From Earnest Money To Clear Title

Deals stall when disputes erupt over deposits or title surprises surface late. Our team resolves earnest money dispute stand-offs, interprets contract contingencies, and negotiates releases that protect your position. For title defects—old deeds, liens, or missing releases—we build a cure plan so lenders and buyers can move forward.

Make The Policy Work For You

When a covered defect slips past the search, we prepare the title insurance claim, manage correspondence with the carrier, and push toward defense or indemnity. If construction activity created lien questions, we coordinate payoff, bonding, or challenges with our construction & lien law practice to protect deadlines and closings.

Fix The Record—Permanently

Some problems require litigation. We file a quiet title action to resolve breaks in the chain, boundary overlaps, or unreleased deeds of trust, pairing legal strategy with survey support. When parties will cooperate, we draft corrective deeds and stipulations to clear the path to funding.

Common Questions About Escrow & Title

  • Who gets the earnest money if a deal collapses?

    The contract controls; we evaluate contingencies, notices, and timing to argue your position.

  • My title report lists an exception—am I stuck?

    Not always; some exceptions can be cured or insured around. We’ll chart your best option.

  • Can I close with a pending lien?

    Sometimes, with bonding or escrow holds; we’ll coordinate with title and lender to keep momentum.
