Forney, TX asked in Contracts and Real Estate Law for Texas

Q: I bought a home in 2020. The title company said they would send a copy of the signed paperwork and they never sent it?

It was during the pandemic and so they weren’t printing anything. Anyway I have asked for them been ignored and now they are telling me they may not have everything as they dispose of sensitive information. Before doing that nothing was sent. She told me to go call the loan company and they might have them. This seems very sketchy. Can they legally do that?

A: The title company does not represent you and has almost no duty to you. It is not an attorney that you hire.

You probably need to get recorded instruments at the Courthouse. The lender will probably be of no help, but you should ask them.

A: It seems sketchy that you didn't ask for and receive copies of everything when you signed them.
