Title Review, Opinions, and Curative Work
Effective title work requires more than a quick glance at a single report. Our firm examines the chain of title, recorded documents, and related filings to identify existing interests, restrictions, and issues that may affect a closing or future transfer.
When needed, Kohm & Associates, P.C. prepares or reviews curative documents to help address matters such as prior conveyances, missing signatures, errors in legal descriptions, unresolved liens, or other defects so that the public record accurately reflects current ownership and the intended transfer.
Deeds, Easements, and Other Recordable Documents
Properly drafted and recorded documents are essential to protecting property rights in Texas. Our firm drafts and reviews deeds, correction deeds, mineral deeds, easements, affidavits, and other instruments that affect the use and ownership of real property.
We focus on clear language, accurate legal descriptions, and compliance with county‑level recording requirements so that documents can be accepted and relied upon in future transactions.
Working With Texas Counties and Local Practices
Each Texas county maintains real property records in its own way and may have specific preferences for how certain instruments are prepared and submitted. Kohm & Associates, P.C. works with county clerks and recording offices throughout the state to help clients prepare documents correctly and understand how those filings will appear in the public record.
Familiarity with county‑level practices helps reduce avoidable recording delays and supports smoother closings and future transfers for our clients.
When to Contact a Real Estate and Title Attorney
Clients commonly contact us when they are under contract to buy or sell property, preparing for a refinance, reviewing a title commitment with questions, or addressing a title issue that appears late in the process. Early review can help avoid surprises at closing and provide a clearer picture of what must be done before a transaction can move forward.
If you have questions about a contract, title report, deed, or any other real estate document, Kohm & Associates, P.C. can review your paperwork, explain the implications in plain language, and discuss the options available for moving ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a real estate attorney for a Texas closing?
While some transactions close using only a title company, many buyers, sellers, and lenders choose to involve a real estate attorney to review contracts, explain title issues, and help address problems that arise before closing.
What is a title commitment and why does it matter?
A title commitment outlines the conditions under which title insurance will be issued and identifies matters that affect title. It is an important document to review carefully before closing on Texas real estate.
What is curative title work?
Curative work refers to the documents and steps needed to correct errors or gaps in the chain of title so that ownership is accurately reflected in the public record and future transactions can proceed more smoothly.
Can you help with land and rural property transactions?
Yes. Our practice includes transactions involving rural land, ranches, and other acreage, where issues such as easements, mineral interests, and access rights are often important.
When should I contact you during a transaction?
It is often helpful to contact a real estate and title attorney when you are reviewing or negotiating a contract, after receiving a title commitment, or as soon as a potential title problem is identified.
