What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
Real estate attorney created a cloud on title at closing and then recorded the documents at courthouse, also several mistakes on the note and deed of trust.

Are attorney's fees to defend the Quiet Title action recoverable? should the Lenders Title Insurance be named in a suit for legal malpractice as well as the closing attorneys firm?

The clouded title presents an issue: have not been able to refi the property until the title defect is corrected. The inability to refi the loan has impacted several other areas.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

**A: how and why did the attorney create this so called cloud? What were the specifics? Was it a judgement lien and what party hired the attorney?
