Professional Title Services from an expert Title Attorney can make or break your real estate acquisition for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you purchase or receive any type of real estate, you are getting more than just the physical property: You are also acquiring the rights to own, posses, and transfer it\u2014known collectively as \u201ctitle\u201d. No amount of money paid to a seller will confer legal ownership without professional Title Services that will protect your interests for years to come. That is why Jurado & Associates, P.A. has a dedicated team of specialized Real Estate and Title Attorneys who know what to look for and how to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Basics of Title<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you buy or receive a property, you are \u201ctaking title\u201d to it. In layman\u2019s terms, title constitutes your \u201cbundle of rights\u201d over a property. When an individual holds title to something, they have the legally recognized right to own, posses, use, rent, mortgage, and convey (through sale or gift) the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title rights are not to be taken for granted: Even if you pay full price for a property, without actual proof of title<\/a>[R1]<\/a> , you may lack full use and enjoyment over the property\u2014and may have no rights at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking Title<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any \u201clegal person\u201d can take title to a property, including individuals, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and trusts. Tile is taken through a special legal instrument known as a deed, which can take many forms but must have specific language to be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each time a property changes hands, one party takes title from another: Over time, this creates a \u201cchain of title\u201d that stretches from the first recorded owner to the current one. This chain of title also reveals a number of issues or events that occurred throughout the property\u2019s legal history, such as claims by third parties, court judgments, liens, and code violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of these issues \u201cattach\u201d to the title, meaning if you take title without having them cleared or resolved, they will become your problem to bear\u2014unless you enlist the help of a qualified Real Estate and Title Attorney from Jurado & Associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
