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.

I was told by my lawyer that even though they do a title
search, if anything pops up, they are not responsiable for it.

That's a lie if they have been negligent
doing the title search, didn't do it properly.

You should take out the title insurance.

It might well be a lot easier to claim on that than to prove to
a court that your lawyer had been negligent doing the search.

What is interisting is that I know a man that does survey of the
property. If he makes a mistake, it is up to him to make it right.

That's not the case here, because of the letouts in the contract.

Just shows how how the lawyers protect
theirselves, but screw over the others.
