Clear requirements faster so commitments convert to closings on schedule.

Pre-closing service
Unreleased mortgages, missing heirs, broken chains and incorrect legal descriptions — we research each defect, obtain the documents needed to clear it and keep your closing on track.

Overview
Every examination turns up something: an old mortgage that was paid but never released, an heir who never signed, a deed recorded with the wrong legal description. Each one becomes a requirement on the commitment — and someone has to clear it before the file can close.
Our curative team does that work. We research the issue, contact lenders, heirs, courts and county offices, obtain the release, affidavit or corrective document needed, and get it recorded. Where a matter needs legal action, we coordinate with attorneys or title companies on quiet title proceedings.
How it works
Every curative item is tracked from the moment it is flagged until the clearing document is recorded.
The defect is taken from the examination and logged as a requirement.
Prior ownership, payoffs, heirs or court records are researched.
The release, affidavit or corrective document is requested and chased.
The clearing document is recorded or re-recorded with the county.
The requirement is marked satisfied and the file updated.

In depth
Examination finds the problems; curative fixes them. Once a commitment lists its requirements, every unreleased lien, missing signature or gap in the chain has to be resolved before the policy can issue without that matter as an exception. Some items take a single phone call. Others take weeks of research across lenders, courts and county offices.
Curative is often the least predictable part of a title file, which is why it is so often the reason a closing slips.
Examination finds the problems. Curative is what clears them.
Curative items tend to sit. The lender that held a 20-year-old mortgage has merged twice; the heir who needs to sign lives in another state; the county wants a specific form before it will re-record a document. When this work is squeezed between other tasks, items stay open, buyers and sellers grow frustrated, and closings are pushed back.
Our curative team owns each item from the moment it is flagged. We research the history, identify who can provide the clearing document — a lender, an heir, a court or a county — and follow up until it is obtained and recorded. For matters that need legal action, such as quiet title, we coordinate with attorneys or title companies so the file keeps moving while the legal work proceeds.
Most title defects follow familiar patterns. After 27 years and more than 400,000 commitments, our team has seen the same unreleased liens, probate gaps and name variations many times over — and knows which document clears each one and where to get it. That experience is what turns weeks of trial and error into a short, predictable process.
