There are numerous ways in which errors can occur when recording title on a property. In this article, we are going to discuss how legal descriptions can lead to title recording errors in some situations.
Legal Descriptions
Property legal descriptions can cause errors in recording title. Sometimes documents are rejected because legal descriptions are incomplete, missing, or inconsistent when they’re compared to the existing records. This is especially common with complicated legal descriptions so it’s important to take time to review the legal descriptions that are being typed and verified them against the recorded prior documents.
As part of the title insurance underwriting process, your title company will go through the entire title history of your property and identify and clear up any errors that have been recorded in the chain of title. This will clear things up and prevent potential issues in the future.
