You trusted the way most people trust \u2014 through relationships and good faith.

It tells you nothing about whether the land itself has a clean title, or whether the person selling it even has the legal right to sell it in the first place.<\/p>\n <p>The same piece of land can be \u2014 and often is \u2014 sold to multiple buyers by someone who never had full legal ownership to begin with.
