While working on some python scripts I quickly tried to erase the map title element via python using essentially the below code in a loop:
Doing this returns no errors but once I recheck the mxd the values are not removed. This happens on every mxd I've tried/created. It seems I'm having trouble writing to this property: mxd.title. Is anyone able to spot what I'm missing?
I noticed the following posts:
The first is about trouble writing to the map document properties in a "Save As":

The second is someone reportedly having success editing the property by running the code from within the mxd itself which I am also not able to do even though the code is pretty much the same.

any thoughts, advice are welcome. Thanks in advance.
