Title Defects Resolution in Sarasota, Florida
How a Real Estate Litigation Attorney Can Help You
If a property cannot be sold or is deemed unmarketable for any reason related to the seller’s ownership of the property or problems with documents in the seller’s chain of title, the seller is said to have “defective title” or has “a title defect.”
