<p>Have you tried a different title company?</p>
<p>Is there some requirement that a grantee acknowledge how they
take title? But as to your case, often (always?) I see the escrow
has the buyers/grantee initial the deed they will be receiving.
So maybe your client should look in their file to see if they have
such a document in their paperwork. Alternatively some
instructions to write up the deed that way. It almost certainly
didn't just happen.<br>
