TITLE INSURANCE

Girardot & LaRose are agents for two of the largest and most reputable title insurers in the industry: Chicago Title Insurance Company (CTIC) and First American Title Insurance Company (FATCO).

EXPERTS IN REAL ESTATE LITIGATION, TAX DEEDS AND QUIET TITLE ACTIONS

We also handle Quiet Title and Tax Deed issues, including the process of barring the right of redemption and successfully pursuing Quiet Title actions in the Georgia Superior Courts.

As many savvy real estate investors know, investing in tax deeds can be very lucrative, as either they are paid off by the taxpayer, or the tax deed investor can become the owner of the real estate.

Simply purchasing a tax deed does not give an investor a clear “fee simple” ownership interest, however, as the taxpayer has the right to redeem the tax deed for a specified period of time. The tax deed investor must follow specific steps to “bar” the taxpayer’s right of redemption. After the barment process, a “Quiet Title” lawsuit is usually necessary to establish an insurable title in the real estate.

Successful tax deed investors rely upon the advice and guidance of Girardot & LaRose, with years of experience in the barment process and in Quiet Title actions in the Georgia Superior Courts.
