When there is a title defect, first you need to determine if you have title insurance on your property.  If so, you can file a claim with your title insurance underwriter and they will take care of it.  However, it is a good idea to contact a lawyer to review your policy and coverage and submit the claim for you.  In the event the title defect is discovered during the closing process and is not covered, our firm can assist buyers, sellers and title companies in correcting these title defects as quickly as possible so that the real estate transaction can close as planned. For more information, please contact one of our real estate lawyers in Miami.
