my mother's husband passed away 4 years ago this may. i was left their home in their will. i also have an unreported quit claim deed with my name as a joint owner with both my mother and her husband. it was notarized while they were both alive. i just sold the home and was informed this quit claim deed was never recorded. the title company says they will charge 1% of the selling price on top of their fee to guarantee title. is this my only option??
You should call other title companies. That does not sound like a normal fee they are attempting to charge you.
All they probably have to do is record that deed you have to fix the problem and 1% is far more than I would expect to see for that service.
