Legal Issues

Bad Title
A bad title is a purported title that is legally insufficient to convey property to the purchaser. While a title that is not marketable isn't necessarily a bad title, a bad title is inherently unmarketable and purchasers are generally not compelled to accept it.
Hush Money
Hush money refers to cash given to assure the silence of the receiver, often in a manner akin to a bribe. It is typically used to keep certain information confidential, preventing it from becoming public knowledge.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment refers to unwelcome and often intimidating verbal or physical sexual advances. It often carries threats of employment reprisals if such advances are refused and has been defined by federal government and courts as illegal employment discrimination.
