GOT QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. WHAT IS A “MESSY TITLE” AND HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE ONE?

A “messy title” usually means the legal ownership of a property is
unclear or disputed. This often happens when a home is inherited by
multiple family members and no one takes formal steps to transfer
ownership. If the property has been sitting vacant, if you’re unsure
who legally owns it, or if you’ve run into roadblocks trying to
sell, renovate, or pay taxes on it — you might be dealing with a
messy title. We specialize in helping families sort through these
situations and find a path forward.   

2. WHAT HAPPENS IF A PROPERTY HAS MULTIPLE HEIRS AND NO CLEAR OWNER?

When a property is passed down without a will or formal probate, it
an end up with several heirs who all have partial interest — but no
one has full control. This can make decisions about the property
nearly impossible. We work with families to identify all heirs,
clarify ownership rights, and help resolve disputes or confusion so
the property can be used, maintained, or passed on properly. 

3. CAN YOU HELP IF A HOME HAS BEEN VACANT FOR YEARS?

Yes. In fact, that’s one of our specialties. Vacant homes often come
with layers of legal, financial, and emotional complexity. Whether
it’s been empty for five years or fifty, we can help you understand
the title situation, connect with the right professionals, and take
steps to bring the property back to life — for your family and your
community.    

4. WHAT IF I’M BEHIND ON PROPERTY TAXES — CAN YOU HELP ME STAY IN
MY HOME?

homeowners stay in their homes. If you’re behind on taxes and
worried about losing your property, we can connect you with trusted

everything we can to support your stability.  

5. DO YOU CHARGE FOR CONSULTATIONS?

complicated title issue or tax concern, reach out — we’ll listen,
assess, and guide you toward solutions with no strings attached.
