Lines, easements and title

The deed says one thing. The fence says another.

Most boundary and title problems aren't dramatic. They're a driveway that drifted across a line decades ago, a utility easement on a back corner, a lien that was paid and never released.

Sigrid started this firm to untangle them. We read the paper, call the people involved and propose the least expensive fix first.

  • A written title review at a set fee

  • Disputes quoted in writing, never open-ended

  • A letter, an agreement or a filing: your choice

What we sort out

Six things we see in the records

If yours isn't here, call anyway. Odd files are most of what we do.

  • A boundary that follows a fence

    The survey and the fence line disagree, and you need to know which one counts.

  • An easement nobody mentioned

    A utility, a neighbor's road or a pipeline recorded long before you arrived.

  • A driveway that crosses a line

    Years of use that may or may not give anyone rights.

  • A lien that was paid and never released

    The debt is gone but the record says otherwise.

  • A name missing from the deed

    A late spouse, a divorce or a family transfer that was never recorded.

  • A gap in the chain of title

    A link in the history of ownership that nobody can produce.

Before you hire us for this

Do we have to go to court?

Rarely at the start. Most problems begin with a letter, a call or a recorded agreement. We'll tell you plainly if a court filing is the only way.

How do I know what's recorded against my property?

Send us the address. We pull the deed, the plat and the recorded documents, and tell you what each one means.

What does the title review include?

A search of the recorded documents, a read of what's there and a short written summary. A dispute with a neighbor is quoted separately.

Something in the records doesn't add up?

Send the address. Nanami will pull what's recorded and Sigrid will tell you what it means.
