Perfecting the Title
I’ve seen this in various discussions. I’m not really sure what it means.
What is the process of perfecting the title. Is title somehow imperfect to begin with and in need of some process to perfect it. What does a landowner need to do and why to perfect his title? How does it affect the boundary?
Is a surveyor or survey required to perfect the title? I own some land, should I be worried about doing some survey work to perfect title?
From Black’s eight:
perfect title. 1. FEE SIMPLE. 2. A grant of land that requires no further act from legal authority to constitute an absolute title to the land. 3. A title that does not disclose a patent defect that may require a lawsuit to defend it. 4. A title that is good both in law and in equity. 5. A title that is good and valid beyond all reasonable doubt.
Is a perfect boundary description (math and calls) required for perfect title?
Can a survey mess up my perfect title?
