Liens, deeds, and titles form the basis of nearly all real estate transactions. A deed and title are present in every real estate transfer, and liens are fairly common as well. Even a small mistake in any of these documents can cause problems when the property is transferred, even if that is years down the road. A Houston real estate litigation and dispute attorney can help resolve disputes arising from liens, deeds, or title errors.

What Are Liens, Deeds and Titles?
Liens, deeds, and titles are crucial elements of nearly every real estate transaction. Although related, they are each distinct and separate items.
Liens
A lien allows a creditor to claim an interest in a specific property and seize that property if the debt is not paid. Liens may be either voluntary or involuntary. An example of a voluntary lien is a mortgage, while an involuntary lien may occur when the IRS seizes property for unpaid taxes.
Deeds
A property deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of property from one person, the grantor, to another, the grantee. Deeds are usually recorded with the local court, and different types of deeds may include different types of warranties or guarantees.
Title to Real Estate
In Texas, a title is not a legal document, but it is a right of ownership of the property. In some cases, multiple owners may share title to property, and they may use a deed to transfer their partial title to another person.
