FREX helps property owners facing title complications understand their options and connect with title professionals who can help resolve issues.
A clouded title (also called a "cloud on title") is a situation where there is an unresolved issue that questions the legal ownership of a property. This can prevent a property from being sold, refinanced, or transferred until the issue is resolved.
Title clouds can result from a variety of situations including improper deed transfers, unpaid liens, inheritance issues, forgery, errors in public records, or unresolved legal judgments. In Flint and Genesee County, older properties may have accumulated title issues over decades.
