Re: Real Estate Title company negligence

You may not need to go after the Title company. Your claim is either with the seller, for your lien portion of the proceeds, or with the buyer who bought subject to your lien. The buyer will make a claim with the title company (who is their insurer) for what you claim.

Good Luck
