Oh , not so much about ghosts, goblins and ghouls, but more so about the specters and illusions that can menace the title of your home. When buying a home, it is wise to be well informed about the pitfalls and problems that may lurk in the shadows. Advance knowledge of these specters and how to avoid them - can save a buyer thousands of dollars. The illusions of a good deal have led many buyers into an early grave. Title specters are more commonly known as "clouds." They cloud a title so that it cannot be transferred, free and clear. A simple bill of sale or deed does not fully transfer the ownership of real estate. A title can be clouded in many different ways. A few examples: Forgery: In one case a couple returned from an extended tour in Europe to find, to their surprise, another family was living in their home. The other family produced a signed deed and claimed ownership. It was finally revealed that a scheming lady had seen the home vacant, forged a deed to herself, then falsely sold the home for quick cash and disappeared. Forgeries signed, even in the distant past, do not convey title. They menace or cloud a title until it has been legally cleared. Walking Dead: Another time, a "walking corpse" who had been declared legally dead showed up after several years to claim his family's home. The place had been sold to another party. This caused a real legal entanglement. Phantom Heirs: Oftentimes there may be an unknown heir at the time an estate was probated. In one case, a "phantom" heir was discovered living in Australia 17 years later. This put a specter in the title. Unknown Easements: it's possible to buy property with an unrecorded utility line across it. A farmer once owned 1 5 acres of farm land. He sold it to an innocent without saying anything about an easement. Years later when the sold it, a title search revealed that a gas line crossed the property. When the farmer sold this easement, the transaction was recorded, but as a part of another deed. Therefore, the prior title search missed that transaction. This created a battle. fail to have the note and trust deed Unrecorded Reconveyances: Often times a person will pay off a mortgage but returned and reconveyance recorded. Such a situation occurred where the title company and former lender both went bankrupt The bank had failed to sign a reconveyance before going into receivership. Shortly thereafter the title company went broke. It took nearly six months to clear up that specter. " situation when someone tries to buy Other examples: Law books are filled with similar cases.

Protection: Sellers don't always divulge all the facts and problems that can affect the value of the property they want to sell. In many cases, they simply may not know. What's worse, some sellers are so desperate to sell they will tell a buyer anything to make the sale. Many of these problems can occur unbeknownst to the property owner. Many thousands of dollars have been lost in real estate transactions. It's for these reasons that all states have laws that require a person selling real estate to have a license to do so (owners excluded). It takes 90 hours of classroom study to get an agent's license. It exam. Once takes 120 hours for a broker's license plus 3 years of agent experience. One then must pass an exhausting licensed, a broker is required to protect and safeguard all parties equally in all real estate transactions. This includes buyers and sellers alike. In contrast, attorneys protect only the person they represent. For a safe, secure real estate transaction it is advisable for a buyer (or seller) to engage the assistance and counsel of a Realtor. It's their business. If they make an error or overlook one of these haunting problems, they can be held liable for any losses incurred. Most buyers prefer the protection offered by their Realtor. They cannot afford the losses that can occur. It's for this reason that 90 percent of all real estate transactions are consummated by Realtors. auto,air,stereocassette,power, cruise, low miles, excellent dition. $6595. 756-392- con- 84 FORD CARGO VAN.
