The recorded deed is a starting point for the ownership names and how title is held. Other recorded documents or a divorce order may also matter. The title company reviews those documents and confirms who needs to sign and what it needs for this closing.
If a court order addresses the house, share it with the title company rather than guessing what it changes. An Alabama family-law attorney can explain how the order applies to your situation. You can talk with us while those questions are being checked.
The incorporated City of Birmingham intersects Jefferson, Shelby, and Walker Counties. A Birmingham mailing address or metro-area label does not tell you which county contains a particular property. That affects which local office to contact; confirm the parcel location before relying on a county record.
For statewide references, see Alabama Code §30-2-51 and the Alabama Judicial System. The deed and any order for your property still need to be reviewed for the sale.
