Probate and estate sales need the right person with the right authority to sign. That paperwork can take weeks.
Old liens and loans that were paid off but never released show up more often on homes owned for decades.
Out-of-state or traveling signers during the holidays need remote or mail-away closings set up well in advance.
Order title the day you go under contract, not the week before closing.
Comment ‘TITLE’ if you have a Q4 file you’d like us to look at early.
