Legal descriptions may not be the star of the Thanksgiving table, but they’re often where the real feast of details begins. In this week’s episode of Unwinding with Underwriting, we carve into the complexities of outdated deed language, missing surveys, boundary surprises, and all the ingredients that can make or break a clean transaction. Our underwriting team shares why a careful review is essential, how GIS tools and tax maps help keep everything aligned, and why clear communication with your title searchers can prevent unnecessary surprises before closing.

So before you fill your plate, fill your mind with a few bite-sized lessons to help you serve up smooth, dispute-free transactions all season long.
