SignificantTitle review needed

Who has authority to sell a home held in a trust?

The title commitment identifies trust ownership. Ask the title professional which documents establish signing authority and what remains outstanding.

“…vested in Dana R. Whitfield and Marcus J. Whitfield, as trustees of the Whitfield Family Trust dated March 3, 2015…”

SignificantConfirm the responsible next step

What should I check about the septic system?

The disclosure identifies an on-site wastewater system. Ask your agent or title team to confirm the transfer-inspection report, applicable requirements and who is responsible for the next step.

“The property is served by an on-site wastewater treatment system.”

Rental rule31-day minimum

Can I rent this home out?

The HOA provision allows leases of 31 days or longer. Weekend stays would not meet that minimum. Check the governing documents and current local requirements for your intended rental.

HOA provision: “No lease may be for a term of fewer than 31 consecutive days.”

How to read it

Three things every finding tells you.

A useful finding connects your question to supporting information and a practical next step. Its status should match what the evidence establishes.

How serious

Distinguish a concern, a supported possibility and a question that still needs confirmation.

Whose job it is

Look for the responsible professional or party when the transaction establishes one. Confirm ownership of an open next step.

Where it came from

Look for the quote, document and page reference, then review the underlying source.
