Title Defects Resolution in Sarasota, Florida
How a Real Estate Litigation Attorney Can Help You
If a property cannot be sold or is deemed unmarketable for any reason related to the seller’s ownership of the property or problems with documents in the seller’s chain of title, the seller is said to have “defective title” or has “a title defect.”

At The Edwards Law Firm, PL, we have years of experience in both real estate transactions and real estate litigation that make us uniquely qualified to assist buyers and sellers in the resolution of title defects.
