What is the name of your state? Florida
When I purchased my home the title company mistakingly transferred the deed into the wrong persons name. I was not shown the deed at closing (because only the grantor signs it) therefore I did not find out until my home owners assoc. sent me a statement book for the payments and someone elses name was on it. I then checked with the county records and sure enough the house is in someone elses name.
Technically I now have a mortgage and live in a home that is not mine. If the person in which the deed was transferred incorrectly to is uncooperative in transferring it to me do I have any grounds for a claim against the title company to have the mortgage paid off?
The title company is saying that they can clear the title issue but I guess I would say that also if I didn't want a claim started. Can they somehow clear the issue if the person it was incorrectly deeded to isn't willing to sign a deed to us?
