Common Playa del Rey title issues
The recorded items that most often show up on Playa del Rey preliminary title reports — and how we clear them.
Bluff-adjacent parcels frequently carry recorded slope, drainage, and access easements. We pull the underlying documents so buyers understand what runs with the land.
Playa del Rey has decades-long ownership. Old deeds of trust, abstracts of judgment, and tax liens often need clearing — we surface them the week the order opens.
Beachfront condo files depend on the recorded condo plan and CC&Rs. We retrieve them for prelim review and lender conditions.
Estate and trust transfers are common here. We review vesting, request the right Statement of Information, and align the deed with the policy.

Playa del Rey is part of the City of Los Angeles, so the city documentary transfer tax of $4.50 per $1,000 applies on top of the County's $1.10 per $1,000, and high-value sales can trigger Measure ULA. Sellers customarily pay for the owner's policy, buyers for the lender's policy when financing. Standard prelim turnaround is 2–4 business days.
