Land Contract : A Contract for Deed/Land Contract is a contract between a seller and buyer of real property, where the seller provides the financing. The seller retains the legal title to the property while permitting the buyer to take possession of the property. When the buyer has paid the full purchase price plus any interest back to the seller, the buyer receives the legal title to the property.

When you have a contract on the sale of your real estate, you will need to order a title commitment. This is to prove that you have title to the home and that it is free and clear of any liens and taxes
What is title insurance?

Title insurance is your policy of protection against loss that may result in a claim against your ownership of the property.

Why do I need title insurance?

You need title insurance to protect the equity you have invested in your property. In an extreme case of claim, you could lose your entire home and property-and still be liable to pay off the balance of your mortgage. Most claims are not that dramatic, but even the smallest claim can cost you time, money, and aggravation, and you may have to pay costs for a legal defense. If a claim is made against your property, title insurance will, in accordance with the terms of your policy, assure you of a legal defense-and pay all court costs and related fees. Also, if the claim proves valid, you will be reimbursed for your actual loss up to the face amount of the policy.


Buying Property ~ Why Do You Need?

There are some tasks that you need to know and to assure the legality of  real estate transaction.

1. Verify if the description in the seller's title is accurate.

2. Make sure there are not errors on the exact location of the property.

3. Verify the title chain. Make sure that all transfer documentation was drafted by legal counsel. It is important to consider the sacramental formalities of documents required in comliance with Us/ Michigan real estate laws. Title problems are the main cause of real estate litigation cases. All of this can be avoided by simply acquiring title insurance.

4. Check if the parcel infringes areas prohibited or restricted by federal or state laws or regulations.

5. Find out if there are any pending taxes or other governmental dues that are or may can become liens, and that there are no registered encumbrances or servitudes upon the property.

6. Obtain all permits, appraisements, certificates, letters of feasibility and tax receipts of the different entities and official authorities.

7. Draft or review the contracts and the documents you are required to sign.



Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer

Title insurance does not fully protect you against all legal disputes. And only licensed attorneys are qualified to address legal issues that arise. Our real estate lawyers offer their years of experience in real estate law. We have handled most every type of legal conflict that might arise.


Why Title Defects Can Affect Your Property Sale?

When you are buying or selling a home or a commercial property, last-minute title issues can arise that must be cleared immediately for the transaction to go through. The title describes the history of the ownership of the property, dating back decades or even a hundred years. A thorough title search may uncover unknown (or undisclosed) claims against the property by other parties, such as tax liens or claims by heirs of previous owners. It will also reveal any title defects such as missing records at the courthouse. Our job in title examination is to point out any discrepancies to the client, or give a legal opinion of clear title so the transaction can proceed. It’s important to receive marketable title, free and clear of liens and uncommon encumbrances, to the property that you are purchasing. If the title is defective, the buyer will not be able to sell the property at a later time at market value. Without marketable title, you would have to heavily discount the price – that is, if you can get any buyers to submit an offer after you disclose the property’s defective title.
