deed refers to "lot 9 on the map with this plot name held in the Assessor's Office"; it is not the Assessor's Map though; tax collector seized it and auctioned off the lots; title company says this is a serious problem with the title which makes it un-insurable. it's a fannie mae foreclosure; i traced the history and the title was passed from grand mother to son to his wife and finally sold; the last sale deed refers to the wrong book and page of the last transaction though since the husband died and was in "joint tenancy" she got full ownership - so just the wrong page cited. main problem is the bounds of the property are not on the deed, rather the lot number referencing a map that was in the Assessor's Office, but is now in the Registry of Deeds; the map is an accurate survey of the land from 1916; am I getting into a lot of danger if I switch closing attorney for a new title company that will insure this title? Should I be weary of some clause the title company may put into the agreement?
