Clouded title can bring even the smoothest real estate transaction to a halt—and for many individuals and families, resolving those issues can feel out of reach. This session introduces lawyers to practical, effective legal tools for clearing title and restoring confidence in ownership.
This course will walk through common title problems—such as the death of a grantee, divorce, unpaid judgment liens, tax liens, and more—and the legal remedies available to cure them. Attendees will gain a foundational understanding of actions like quiet title, partition, and adverse possession, and how to apply these tools in everyday practice. There will also be discussion of title issues involving estates and probate.
