- Status:
- Unanswered
Im May 2022 I purchased a new home. Stewart Title Company at ************************************************************************* was the title company managing the closing. The title company ensured that the home I paid cash for had a clean title. I recently learned that they failed to ensure the title was clean. The registry of seeds shows an outstanding lien by ********* from the previous owners of my home. Stewart title was aware of this lien, did not disclose it to me, and proceeded to close the sale of the property. I am in the process of obtaining a HELOC. This process is halted because of the outstanding lien that was not cleared up. I have had multiple outreaches to **************** from ******* Title who is unwilling to take the steps needed to clear the title that should have been done prior to closing.
