Questions & Answers about Pedimos un aval con el fin de otorgar la escritura de la propiedad.

Why does this sentence use "con el fin de" instead of "con el fin de que"?
Because the subject doesn't change. When the people asking (pedimos) are the same ones granting the deed (otorgar), we use con el fin de followed by an infinitive verb. If a different person were granting the deed, we would use con el fin de que followed by a subjunctive verb.
Could I just say "para" instead of "con el fin de"?
Yes, you could just say para otorgar la escritura. Con el fin de means exactly the same thing ("in order to" or "with the purpose of"), but it sounds more formal and professional, which fits perfectly in a legal or real estate context like this one.
Does Pedimos mean "We ask" or "We asked" here?
It can actually mean either! The verb form pedimos is exactly the same in both the present tense (we ask) and the preterite past tense (we asked). You would need more context from the rest of the conversation to know exactly when this happened.
Why is the word escritura used here? Doesn't it mean "writing"?
While escritura comes from the verb escribir (to write) and can refer to the act of writing, in legal and real estate contexts it specifically translates to a "deed" or "title." La escritura de la propiedad is the official property deed.
