<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Holdback/indemnification might work for the parties at 1.5 times the amount but there isn’t any requirement that the Title Company agree to it. My guess is that it depends on
the amount in dispute. Unfortunately, Slander of Title won’t work until the sale actually fails as I understand that cause of action because as of now you don’t actually have a loss, just a potential loss. It wouldn’t be ripe if memory serves.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

they may hamper closing. 2 days before closing the party records the CR2A against the Property alleging wrongfully that it has been breached. Title Co. acknowledges that it is not a lien, but won’t clear title because of “risk”.
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Seller</span> demands clear title . Property Owner is 94 years old and closing is in jeopardy. OPTIONS: slander of title action; holdback of funds to indemnify title co.; give party all info and hope they
