Title Problems Holding Up Your Connecticut Sale?
Old mortgages never released, missing heirs, boundary questions, or a name misspelled on a deed decades ago. Here is how title issues get cleared and how CT MAX works through them.

Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
Common Connecticut title issues
- A paid-off mortgage that was never released on the land records
- Unpaid liens: taxes, sewer, water, contractors, judgments
- Heirs who never went through probate
- Errors in legal descriptions or names on old deeds
- Encroachments and unclear boundaries
How they get fixed
A title search by the closing attorney finds the issue. Fixes range from getting a release letter from a lender, to paying a lien at closing, to a quiet title action in Superior Court for the harder cases.
Where CT MAX fits
We have patience for title work. We make the written MAX Offer early and close when the attorney confirms the title is insurable. Liens that can be paid from the sale are paid at closing.
Common questions
Who pays to fix title?
Usually the seller, often from sale proceeds. It depends on the problem and the deal.
How long does a quiet title action take?
Months, depending on the court and whether anyone objects.
Will you walk away if title is messy?
Only if it cannot be made insurable. We will tell you honestly.
