Didn't expect this to turn into a title attorney bashing thread, but I feel obligated to interject. I can promise, at least for my firm's part, we earn our money and then some. The amount and sheer frickedupedness of the titles we have to fix would blow your mind, and often requires creativity and an incisive knowledge of many areas of law, and especially when dealing with rural manufactured homes. Most of these folks would never be able to get a mortgage on their properties absent our involvement. We are not charging hourly attorney time, either, and we don't get paid anything if a deal falls through, which happens all too often. As usual, ignorant loudmouths have something to say because they didn't like having to pay for a service.
