Well it’s their ship and their rules. I’m thinking you mean a “statement” from the original seller to you. If you can’t find the original seller ask them if they will “bond around” that lien.
I am working on a transaction. I am purchasing a property via a quit claim deed. Then reselling the property via warranty deed.
A title search was done. It shows there are $200 in liens which my buyer has agreed to pay.
After further discussion with the title company, they told me that the underwriter will not be able to issue title insurance unless there is a formal settlement from the original seller to me. Does that make sense or am I missing something?
