I found out that when I sold a house and bought another one for cash

not do it myself even if I knew how.

Some state laws require a lawyer do a title search. NY was one for
me. You take out title insurance if the lawyer didn't make sure the
title was clear. Sue the lawyer.

In my state and others the Title Company (RE agent) clears the title
so you sue them over any claims to your property. Post occupation.

Something like that
