Escrow & Title

BA period in the property's ownership history with no recorded deed, creating uncertainty about who owned the property and whether all claims were properly conveyed✓ Correct
CA delay between loan approval and closing

Explanation
A gap in the title chain is a period of missing recorded ownership history — no recorded deed connects the previous owner to the current owner. This creates a 'cloud on title' because it is unclear whether all ownership interests were properly transferred during the missing period.
