    <p>Yes, a title report would be necessary to know if you should even
      bother with a deed in lieu.  And I would think you would need to
      have the title company be involved with the recording process due
      to the possibility of late filed judgments, liens and  such.  I
      know title companies are willing to cover such items in ordinary
      course transactions, but I don't know the same is true of deed in
      lieu transactions.  And if they do cover then they would probably
      want non-merger language too, so they would have an alternative to
      paying off the item, or at least settlement leverage.</p>
