Title Problems Explained: Liens, Inheritance & Divorce in Home Sales

Episode 1 of the Meckey Estates Podcast.

Our goal is clarity — helping homeowners understand the process and next steps, without pressure. In this episode, I’m joined by Jacquelyn Villano, Business Development Executive at Real Safe Title, with over 15 years of experience in the title insurance and settlement industry. Jacquelyn works across both residential and commercial transactions and regularly handles situations involving estate sales, divorce-related transfers, tax liens, and older title issues that homeowners don’t always anticipate. Title is one of the most misunderstood parts of real estate, and much of the fear around it comes from not knowing what’s normal, what’s fixable, or what actually happens behind the scenes. This conversation is for educational purposes only and is not legal advice. It’s about clarity, process, and why involving the right professionals early can make a meaningful difference. In this episode, we cover: What “title” actually means and how it differs from a deed What title companies search for and why it matters Common issues with inherited properties and estate sales Divorce-related title complications homeowners don’t expect How tax liens and old mortgages are typically handled Why waiting too long to order title causes most closing delays Key takeaway: the earlier you seek clarity, the more options you tend to have.
