Post: Title problem 1-1/2 weeks before closing

Posted by John Jones on 8/20/08

I am supposed to close on a house on Aug. 30 2008. I just
found out yesterday Aug. 19 that there is a problem with
the title on the home and the seller will not be able to
close for somewhere between 30 and 90 days, due to having
to go through probate, and getting a tax release from the
state. His brother was listed as a tennant in common, but
has died, and his widow has not been through probate. I
have to be out of my home by the first, and was told by my
realestate agent that everything was a go on my end, and
we may even possibly close early. Now that this has
popped up, I really need to know what my options are.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
