🧾 Selling a House With Legal Issues or Title Problems
If your property has legal complications, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. Whether you’re facing title disputes, liens, code violations, or a probate delay, this guide explains how to still make a sale happen in Texas.
What Counts as a Legal or Title Problem?
- Unresolved liens or tax debts

How Legal Issues Impact the Sale Process
Legal or title problems can slow down or prevent a traditional sale. Most retail buyers will walk away the moment something looks off. However, if you work with a cash buyer like us, we know how to navigate these situations. We partner with local title companies and attorneys to help get deals across the finish line — even when the paperwork is messy.
