Title, insurance and taxes

Do easements, solar leases or liens on title affect me?

Easements, solar leases, and liens all attach to the property and can definitely affect you. Easements grant others the right to use part of your property for utilities, access, drainage, or other purposes, and they remain in place when you buy. Solar leases can obligate you to monthly payments or require a buyout, and may complicate future resale. Liens must typically be paid off before or at closing by the seller, but unresolved liens can delay or block the sale. The title company will research these issues during escrow and provide a title commitment showing everything recorded against the property. Title insurance protects you from certain defects, but read the policy exceptions carefully. The specifics depend on your situation and a licensed title professional should confirm, and Jon can connect you with one.

Specifics depend on your situation and should be confirmed with a title company. Jon can connect you with one: text (623) 826-0888.
