What is clerical title curative work?
Clerical title curative work involves resolving non-legal title issues such as correcting misspelled names, fixing legal descriptions, and ensuring all necessary signatures are present. This service helps maintain a clean and accurate property title without the need for legal intervention.
What issues do you handle?
RedeemTitle focuses on clerical and administrative title defects that can delay closings, but do NOT require litigation or legal interpretation. Our work centers on preparing accurate, recorder-ready corrective instruments that help resolve these types of administrative defects.
How does the curative process work?
The process itself is simple:
1. File is Submitted
A title company or property owner submits documentation describing the defect.
2. Scope Review
The issue is reviewed to confirm it falls within RedeemTitle’s clerical curative scope.
3. Corrective Instrument Prepared
If accepted, a recorder-ready corrective instrument document is prepared to address and correct the issue.
How long does it take to prepare a corrective instrument?
Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the clerical issue and the documentation available.
Many straightforward clerical corrections can be prepared within a few business days once the necessary information is received.
More complicated administrative corrections may take longer depending on the circumstances.
What information should be included when submitting a file?
When possible, please include:
-The recorded document containing the defect
-A brief description of the issue
-The county and state where the document was recorded
-Any related documents relevant to the correction
Providing clear documentation helps speed up the review process
What issues do you NOT handle?
RedeemTitle does not handle matters that require legal interpretation, court filings, or litigation.
If a file requires legal review or court action, we will flag it for referral to a qualified real estate attorney.
Does RedeemTitle provide legal advice?
No.
RedeemTitle focuses strictly on administrative document preparation for clerical corrections. We do not provide legal advice, legal interpretation, or legal representation.
Any matters requiring legal judgment should be handled by a licensed attorney.
How do I submit a file for review?
Files can be submitted by emailing the relevant documentation and a brief description of the issue.
After review, we will confirm whether the issue falls within the RedeemTitle curative scope and outline the next steps.
Who typically uses RedeemTitle?
RedeemTitle primarily works with:
-Title companies
-Escrow officers
We also assist real estate professionals and property owners when simple, record-level issues arise.
Our focus is on supporting title teams with fast, accurate clerical corrections that fit cleanly into their workflow.
What happens if a file is outside your scope?
If a file falls outside our clerical, record-level scope, we’ll let you know quickly and clearly.
If we identify that a file requires legal review or court action, we will not attempt to force a solution.
Instead, we’ll outline why the issue is outside our scope so your team can route it appropriately, whether that’s to legal counsel or another resource.
There is no charge for files that we determine are not a fit.
