Frequently Asked Questions
Title Issue Resolution
What is a cloud on title, and why does it matter?
A cloud on title in Coral Gables is anything that casts doubt on clean ownership—old mortgages, judgment liens, boundary errors, or name discrepancies. Until it’s cleared, buyers and lenders may refuse to close.
When do I need a quiet title action in Miami?
If ownership is disputed, records are incomplete, or a lienholder can’t be located, a quiet title lawyer in Miami files a lawsuit to confirm title in your name so you can sell, refinance, or build with confidence.
How long does it take to resolve a title problem?
Simple issues (mistaken releases, payoff letters, minor recording errors) may resolve in days or weeks; litigation or heir research can take months. An experienced title issue attorney maps the fastest curative path and updates you at each step.
Can you remove old mortgages, liens, or judgments from my property?
Often, yes—through payoff and release, satisfaction affidavits, court orders, or negotiation. A lien removal attorney verifies the debt, confirms statutory compliance, and records the proper instruments to clear title.
What documents should I gather to start the process?
Provide your deed, any prior owner’s title policy, surveys, payoff statements, probate documents if an owner passed away, and relevant correspondence. With these, we can resolve title problems in Florida efficiently and prepare for a clean closing.
