Our Title Curative & Document Preparation Services

We help our clients by providing experienced attorneys to assist with all stages of title curative and document preparation services, including, but not limited to:

Affidavits of Heirship & Title Clearing

Affidavits of heirship are used when a property owner dies without a will. They help establish rightful ownership and allow for title transfer without formal probate. This process helps clear titles and streamline real estate transactions involving inherited property.

Corrective Deeds & Reformation Actions

When recorded deeds contain errors, such as incorrect names, legal descriptions, or property boundaries, corrective deeds and reformation actions resolve those mistakes to reflect the parties’ true intent and restore title accuracy.

Lien Releases & Subordination Agreements

Unreleased liens can cloud the title and delay closings. These documents remove paid-off liens from property records or adjust lien priority to accommodate new financing, ensuring a clean title for buyers and lenders.

Probate-Related Title Issues

Legal intervention may be needed to clarify ownership when the title is affected by a deceased owner’s estate. Services include reviewing wills, probate court documents, and ensuring title transfer complies with state probate laws.

Title Transfers & Warranty Deeds

Legally transferring ownership requires properly drafted deeds. Whether transferring between individuals, trusts, or entities, warranty deeds provide assurances of a clear title and help protect buyers from future claims.

Easement & Right-of-Way Documentation

This service formalizes legal rights for access, utilities, or shared use of property. Accurate easement and right-of-way documents help avoid future disputes and are often required for development or permitting.

Title Defect Resolution for Closings

Unresolved title issues—like breaks in the chain of title, missing signatures, or undisclosed claims—can jeopardize real estate closings. This service identifies and cures these defects to ensure a smooth transaction.

Proof of Ownership under Lost Deed Doctrine

Ownership may still be proven through legal doctrine and supporting evidence when an original deed is lost or destroyed. This service helps reestablish rightful ownership and allows for new conveyance documentation.

Proof of Ownership under Presumed Grant Doctrine

Long-term, undisputed possession and land use may support legal claims of ownership even without formal documentation. Legal action under this doctrine can help secure and clarify property rights.

Bank & Mortgage Lender Representation

Financial institutions require reliable legal partners to ensure document compliance and secure title for funded properties. Services include title reviews, loan closings, litigation, foreclosures and resolution of collateral issues.

Commercial Loan Document Preparation

Prepare complex commercial loan packages, including promissory notes, security agreements, and closing documents, tailored to meet lender requirements and comply with Texas law.

Residential Mortgage Document Preparation

Drafting of complete and compliant document sets for residential mortgage loans, including disclosures, promissory notes, deeds of trust, and other state-specific forms required for closing.

Residential Mortgage Document Review

Thorough analysis of loan documents to verify accuracy, ensure regulatory compliance, and identify any deficiencies or risks before closing.
