Re: Bond For Title
You need an attorney to represent you in this transaction. You need to know if anything is wrong with the title and to have the Bond for Title recorded with the County Register of Deeds.
This type of transaction means you will not own the property until you fully pay for it. The normal transaction is to purchase the property and give back to the seller a purchase money mortgage.
