Real Estate · Title
Know exactly what you own
Title tells you who owns a property and what claims are attached to it. We review title before you buy, and fix problems that surface before they cost you.
When to call us
Title problems are cheapest to solve before closing.
I am buying property
We review the title commitment and the exceptions in it.
Something is wrong with the title
A lien, a missing signature or an old claim has appeared.
I inherited land
We help confirm ownership and clear the way to transfer or sell.
I need to understand my title policy
We explain what the policy covers and what it does not.
What we do
We review and explain title and help resolve problems through documents and payoffs. We do not issue title insurance or act as a title agent; title insurance is issued by a licensed title insurer or agent. We do not appear in court, and we will help you find an attorney if a court action is needed.

Common questions
General information, not legal advice for your situation.
What is title insurance?
A policy, issued by a licensed title insurer or agent and not by our firm, that protects against certain covered defects in title, subject to its terms and exceptions.
What is a title commitment?
A preview of the policy: it lists what will be insured and the exceptions, requirements and liens to resolve first.
What if a defect appears after closing?
Call us. Your policy may cover it, and the sooner we act the better.
