Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

Re: Payoff of current mortgage through title company

Even if the title agent or escrow agent made an error at closing, you still owe the lender whatever the loan amount was as of the date most of it was paid off at closing, plus applicable interest accruing on the unpaid amount. The title agent's error does not somehow forgive the loan/credit extended to you by the bank. However, if the bank gave the title agent the wrong payoff amount in writing, then you might be able to at least get rid of any interest on the unpaid balance and just settle with the lender by paying the principal amount that remained unpaid. This will require negotiation with your lender's representative and proof that the pay amount provided by the lender was wrong when provided. Of course, the foregoing are just general ideas. Without knowing all of the facts, without reviewing all pertinent documents and without first establishing an attorney-client relationship by way of a written engagement agreement, I cannot give you any advice that you may rely upon. Good luck.
