Stuck with a House You Can't Sell Because of Title Issues?

If you've inherited a property in El Paso or discovered your house has title problems, you're not alone. Thousands of homeowners face the same challenge every year: they want to sell, but clouded titles, undisclosed liens, probate complications, or boundary disputes stand in the way.

Traditional buyers and mortgage lenders won't touch properties with title defects. Real estate agents often refuse to list them. You're told you need to spend thousands on attorneys, wait months or years for quiet title actions, or pay off liens you didn't even know existed. This is especially challenging if you're also facing foreclosure or own a distressed property.

But there's a better way. At T-Rex Real Estate, we specialize in buying houses with title issues in El Paso. We're cash home buyers who understand the complexities of selling inherited property with liens, fixing title defects, and navigating probate challenges. We handle all the paperwork, pay off liens at closing, and give you a turnkey solution so you can move on with your life. As El Paso's local property experts, we also help landlords sell rental properties and vacant land. Stay informed with our El Paso real estate news.

Dealing with Clouded Titles and Missing Heirs

A "clouded title" means there's uncertainty about who legally owns the property. This happens when previous transfers weren't properly recorded, heirs can't be located, or family members disagree about ownership. We buy houses with clouded titles and resolve these complex chain of title issues.

What Makes a Title "Cloudy"?

A clear title means there's an unbroken chain of ownership from the current owner back through history. A clouded title has gaps, disputes, or defects in that chain. Common causes include:

  • Unrecorded deeds: Someone inherited the property but never recorded the transfer with the county

  • Missing heirs: One or more heirs can't be located to sign off on the sale

  • Quitclaim deed issues: Previous transfers used quitclaim deeds that don't guarantee clear title

  • Errors in public records: Misspelled names, wrong legal descriptions, or recording mistakes

  • Divorce complications: Property wasn't properly transferred during divorce proceedings

  • Forgery or fraud: Someone forged a signature on a previous deed

Traditional buyers and mortgage lenders require clear, marketable title. If your title is clouded, they'll walk away. But as cash home buyers in El Paso, we can purchase properties with title defects and work through the resolution process ourselves.

Family tree showing missing heirs and clouded title issues

The Fractional Interest Problem

Siblings disagreeing about inherited property sale

One of the most common title issues we see: three siblings inherit a house, but only two want to sell. Each sibling owns a fractional interest (one-third each). Without all three signatures, the property can't be sold with clear title.

The holdout sibling might be:

  • Emotionally attached to the family home

  • Unrealistic about the property's value

  • Using the property as leverage in family disputes

  • Simply unreachable or unresponsive

Your options are limited: file a partition lawsuit (expensive and time-consuming), buy out the holdout sibling (if you have the cash), or sell your fractional interest at a steep discount.

Our Solution:

We can purchase fractional interests or work with all parties to structure a deal that satisfies everyone. We've successfully closed deals where siblings were estranged for years. Our experience with selling inherited property with liens and family disputes means we know how to navigate these sensitive situations.

Chain of Title Issues

When the ownership history has gaps or inconsistencies, it creates uncertainty about who truly owns the property. We work with title companies to trace the chain and resolve discrepancies.

We've resolved chain of title issues going back 40+ years

Missing Heirs

Can't locate a sibling, cousin, or other heir who needs to sign? We have resources to conduct heir searches and can structure deals that protect all parties when heirs can't be found.

We've located missing heirs in 7 different states

Quitclaim Deeds

Quitclaim deeds transfer whatever interest the grantor has, but don't guarantee clear title. If your property was transferred via quitclaim deed, we can still buy it and clear the title issues.

We accept properties with quitclaim deed histories

Partition Lawsuits: The Last Resort

When co-owners can't agree on selling, a partition lawsuit forces the sale through the court system. The court appoints a commissioner to sell the property at auction, and the proceeds are divided among the owners.

Sounds simple, but partition lawsuits are:

  • Expensive: Attorney fees of $10,000-$25,000+

  • Slow: 12-24 months from filing to sale

  • Unpredictable: Auction sales often bring below-market prices

  • Destructive: Permanently damages family relationships

Better Alternative:

Before filing a partition lawsuit, call us. We can often structure a deal that satisfies all parties without court involvement. We've successfully negotiated with holdout heirs, purchased fractional interests, and found creative solutions that avoid litigation.

Even if you've already filed a partition lawsuit, we can still help. We buy properties in partition proceedings and can close quickly, saving you months of waiting and thousands in legal fees.

Average Savings vs. Partition Lawsuit:

$18,500

In legal fees and lost time value

Resolving Undisclosed or Unknown Liens

When you inherit a house in El Paso, you often inherit hidden debt too. Liens can lurk in public records for years, only surfacing when you try to sell. These undisclosed liens can derail traditional sales, but we buy houses with liens and handle all the complications for you.

Property lien documents and tax notices

The Hidden Debt Problem

Most heirs discover liens only after ordering a title search. By then, they've already invested time and money into preparing the property for sale. The shock of discovering $15,000 in back taxes or $8,000 in mechanic's liens can be devastating.

Traditional buyers will walk away immediately. Banks won't approve mortgages on properties with liens. You're left with three bad options: pay the liens yourself (often impossible), wait months for legal resolution, or abandon the sale entirely.

As cash home buyers in El Paso, we offer a fourth option: We buy your house as-is, liens and all. We pay off the liens at closing from the purchase proceeds, so you never have to come out of pocket. You walk away with cash in hand, and we handle all the legal complications.

Average Lien Amount We've Paid Off:

$23,400

Across 200+ transactions in El Paso

Tax Liens

Federal, state, or county tax liens can attach to your property when taxes go unpaid. These take priority over almost all other debts and must be satisfied before the property can be sold with clear title.

Our Solution:

We pay off tax liens directly at closing from the sale proceeds, so you never have to come out of pocket.

Mechanic's Liens

Contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers who weren't paid for work on the property can file mechanic's liens. These can be filed months after the work was completed, catching heirs by surprise.

Our Solution:

We negotiate with lien holders and settle these claims as part of the purchase, removing your liability.

Child Support Liens

If the previous owner owed back child support, the state can place a lien on the property. These liens transfer with the property and must be cleared before sale.

Our Solution:

We work with the state to resolve child support liens at closing, protecting you from enforcement actions.

Medicaid Estate Recovery

When someone receives Medicaid benefits and passes away, the state may file a claim against their estate to recover costs. This creates a lien on inherited property that must be satisfied.

Our Solution:

We handle Medicaid estate recovery claims directly with the state, negotiating settlements when possible.

Judgment Liens

Court judgments from lawsuits, unpaid debts, or credit card judgments can attach to real property. These liens follow the property, not the person, making them the heir's problem.

Our Solution:

We pay off judgment liens at closing, clearing the title so you can sell without legal complications.

HOA Liens

Homeowners association dues and special assessments can result in liens with high interest rates and attorney fees. HOAs can even foreclose on properties for unpaid dues.

Our Solution:

We settle all HOA debts and bring accounts current as part of our purchase, eliminating your exposure.

Navigating Probate & Lack of Authority

Many heirs think they own a house the moment a parent or relative passes away. But legally, the title remains in the deceased's name until probate is complete. Selling a house in probate with back taxes or other complications requires special handling - and we specialize in exactly that.

Probate court documents and legal paperwork

The Probate Authority Gap

Here's the problem: You can't sell property you don't legally own. Even if you're the sole heir, even if the will names you as beneficiary, the property title is still in your deceased relative's name. You need legal authority to transfer that title.

That authority comes through probate. Depending on the situation, you'll need:

  • Letters of Administration: If there's no will (intestate succession)

  • Letters Testamentary: If there's a will and you're named executor

  • Executor's Deed: The legal document that transfers title from the estate to the buyer

Traditional probate in Texas takes 6-12 months minimum. During that time, you're responsible for property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and utilities - even though you can't sell the property yet.

Common Mistake:

Trying to sell before probate is complete. This wastes everyone's time and can create legal liability. We help you understand exactly where you are in the process and what needs to happen before closing.

Types of Probate in Texas

Independent Administration

The fastest and least expensive option. The executor can act without court approval for most decisions.

Timeline: 6-9 months

Dependent Administration

Requires court approval for major decisions. More expensive and time-consuming than independent administration.

Timeline: 12-18 months

Muniment of Title

Simplified process when there are no debts except secured by real estate. The will itself serves as proof of ownership.

Timeline: 3-6 months

Small Estate Affidavit

For estates under $75,000 with no will. Allows transfer without formal probate through an affidavit.

Timeline: 1-3 months

Intestate Succession: Dying Without a Will

When someone dies without a will in Texas, state law determines who inherits. This is called intestate succession. The property doesn't automatically go to the spouse or children - it depends on the family structure.

Texas intestate succession rules:

  • Married with children: Spouse gets 1/3, children get 2/3 (or spouse gets all community property, children get separate property)

  • Married, no children: Spouse inherits everything

  • Unmarried with children: Children inherit everything equally

  • No spouse or children: Parents inherit, then siblings, then more distant relatives

Intestate succession creates complex ownership situations. Multiple heirs with fractional interests, some who want to sell and some who don't. This is where selling inherited property with liens becomes even more complicated.

We Buy Properties in Intestate Estates

Even if probate isn't complete, we can work with you to structure a deal that closes as soon as you have legal authority. We'll wait for your Letters of Administration and close immediately after they're issued.

Our Probate-Friendly Approach:

We understand probate timelines and requirements. We can give you a cash offer now, then wait for your probate to complete before closing. This gives you certainty and peace of mind while you navigate the legal process.

We've closed deals with executors, administrators, and heirs in all types of probate situations. We know how to work with probate attorneys and courts to ensure a smooth closing. And if the property has back taxes, liens, or other complications, we handle those at closing so you don't have to worry about them.

Boundary Disputes and Encroachments

Older family homes often have outdated surveys, fences built over property lines, or neighbor disputes about boundaries. These property survey issues can kill traditional sales, but we buy houses with boundary problems and encroachment issues.

What Are Boundary Disputes?

A boundary dispute occurs when there's disagreement about where one property ends and another begins. This can happen because:

  • Outdated surveys: The last survey was done 40+ years ago with less precise methods

  • Fence placement: Fences were built based on assumptions, not actual property lines

  • Encroachments: Buildings, driveways, or structures cross property lines

  • Easement disputes: Disagreements about rights to use portions of the property

  • Adverse possession claims: Neighbors claiming ownership through long-term use

When you order a new survey to sell the property, these issues surface. The surveyor discovers the fence is 3 feet over the line, or the neighbor's shed is partially on your property, or your driveway encroaches on the neighbor's land.

Why Traditional Buyers Walk Away:

Mortgage lenders require clear boundaries and no encroachments. If the survey shows problems, they won't approve the loan. The buyer walks away, and you're stuck with an unsellable property.

Property surveyor measuring boundary lines

Common Encroachment Problems

Building Encroachments

Part of the house, garage, or shed crosses the property line. This is the most serious type of encroachment and can require expensive legal action to resolve.

Driveway Encroachments

The driveway extends onto the neighbor's property or vice versa. Common in older neighborhoods where driveways were poured without surveys.

Fence Line Disputes

The fence doesn't match the actual property line. One party may have been using land that doesn't belong to them for decades.

Landscaping Encroachments

Trees, bushes, or landscaping features cross property lines. While less serious, these can still complicate sales and create neighbor conflicts.

Utility Encroachments

Utility lines, septic systems, or wells that cross property boundaries. These can create ongoing access and maintenance issues.

Easement Disputes

Disagreements about who has the right to use driveways, pathways, or access routes across the property. Common in rural areas.

Neighbors disputing property boundary and fence line

Quiet Title Actions for Boundary Issues

When boundary disputes can't be resolved through negotiation, you may need a quiet title action. This is a lawsuit that asks the court to determine the true property boundaries and "quiet" any competing claims.

Quiet title actions are:

  • Expensive: $5,000-$15,000+ in attorney fees

  • Slow: 6-18 months to complete

  • Uncertain: Court decisions can be unpredictable

  • Adversarial: Destroys neighbor relationships permanently

Even after winning a quiet title action, you still need to find a buyer willing to purchase the property. You've spent months and thousands of dollars just to get to the starting line.

We Buy Properties with Boundary Issues

As cash home buyers in El Paso, we can purchase properties with unresolved boundary disputes. We're willing to take on the "boundary risk" that traditional buyers and mortgage lenders won't accept. We'll handle the quiet title action ourselves after closing, or work with neighbors to resolve disputes.

Why We Can Buy Properties Traditional Buyers Reject

Traditional Buyer Requirements:

  • Clear Survey Required

    Mortgage lenders require a current survey showing no encroachments or boundary issues

  • Title Insurance Required

    Title companies won't insure properties with known boundary disputes

  • No Risk Tolerance

    Buyers using mortgages can't accept any uncertainty about property boundaries

  • Long Timeline

    Buyers expect you to resolve all issues before closing, which can take years

Our Approach:

  • Cash Purchase

    No mortgage means no lender requirements. We can close with boundary issues present

  • Risk Acceptance

    We're experienced investors who understand and accept boundary risks

  • Post-Closing Resolution

    We handle quiet title actions and neighbor negotiations after we buy

  • Fast Closing

    Close in 7-14 days instead of waiting months or years for resolution

Bottom line: We buy houses with boundary disputes, encroachments, easement issues, and survey problems. We understand that fixing title defects takes time and money, and we're willing to take on that burden so you don't have to. Call us at (915) 206-5814 for a free consultation about your boundary issue.

Special Considerations for Inherited Properties

Selling inherited property with liens presents unique challenges. You're dealing with emotional stress, family dynamics, legal complexity, and financial burden all at once. We understand, and we're here to help.

Emotional Burden

Inheriting a house often comes during grief. You're mourning a loss while simultaneously dealing with legal paperwork, family disagreements, and financial decisions. It's overwhelming.

Financial Pressure

You're suddenly responsible for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance on a house you don't live in. These costs add up quickly, especially if the property has been neglected.

Family Dynamics

Multiple heirs often have different opinions about what to do with the property. Some want to sell, others want to keep it. These disagreements can tear families apart.

Common Title Issues with Inherited Properties

Undisclosed Liens

The deceased may have had debts you didn't know about. Tax liens, judgment liens, mechanic's liens, or Medicaid estate recovery claims can all attach to inherited property.

Probate Delays

You can't sell until probate is complete and you have legal authority. This can take 6-18 months, during which you're paying carrying costs.

Multiple Heirs

When multiple people inherit, all must agree to sell. One holdout can prevent the sale, creating a clouded title situation.

Missing Documentation

Previous transfers may not have been properly recorded. Quitclaim deeds, unrecorded transfers, or missing paperwork create chain of title issues.

Property Condition

Inherited homes are often in poor condition from years of deferred maintenance. Traditional buyers won't purchase without expensive repairs.

Back Taxes

Property taxes may be years behind, creating liens that must be paid before the property can be sold with clear title.

Understanding Quiet Title Actions

A quiet title action is a lawsuit that "quiets" competing claims to property ownership. It's often necessary when selling a house without clear title, but it's expensive and time-consuming. Here's what you need to know.

When Is a Quiet Title Action Needed?

You may need a quiet title action for heirs or other situations when:

  • Competing Ownership Claims

    Multiple people claim to own the property or portions of it

  • Unresolved Liens

    Old liens that can't be released because the lien holder is defunct or can't be located

  • Boundary Disputes

    Neighbors disagree about property lines and won't negotiate

  • Adverse Possession

    Someone claims ownership through long-term use of the property

  • Errors in Public Records

    Recording mistakes that create uncertainty about ownership

  • Missing or Unknown Heirs

    Heirs who can't be located but have potential ownership interests

Quiet title action courtroom proceedings

The Quiet Title Process in Texas

1

File Lawsuit

Attorney files a quiet title lawsuit in district court, naming all parties with potential claims to the property.

2

Serve Notice

3

Discovery & Hearing

4

Court Order

The Downsides of Quiet Title Actions

  • Expensive

    Attorney fees typically range from $5,000 to $15,000+, plus court costs and filing fees

  • Time-Consuming

    Takes 6-18 months from filing to final order, during which you can't sell the property

  • Uncertain Outcome

    Court decisions can be unpredictable, especially in complex cases with multiple parties

  • Ongoing Costs

    You still pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance while the lawsuit proceeds

  • No Guarantee of Sale

    Even after winning, you still need to find a buyer willing to purchase the property

Our Alternative Approach

  • No Out-of-Pocket Costs

    We handle all legal work and pay for any necessary quiet title actions after closing

  • Fast Closing

    Close in 7-14 days instead of waiting 6-18 months for court proceedings

  • Guaranteed Sale

  • Cash in Hand

  • You get paid immediately without waiting for the lawsuit to complete

  • We pay all attorney fees and court costs

  • You're free from the property and can move on with your life

We have the resources and experience to handle complex quiet title actions. We've successfully cleared titles that other buyers said were impossible to fix.

Real Example:

We purchased a property in El Paso with a 30-year-old lien from a defunct contractor. The lien holder's company no longer existed, and there was no way to get a release.

We bought the property for $135,000, then filed a quiet title action to remove the lien. The lawsuit took 8 months and cost $7,500 in legal fees.

The seller got $135,000 cash immediately and never had to worry about the lien again. We handled everything after closing.
