About This Course

Title reports are a common feature in real estate transactions. So common, that real estate attorneys may often gloss over them without taking into consideration the many critical tenets of title insurance.

This seminar, geared for both novice and junior attorneys as well as senior counsel in need of a refresher, will present the conceptual framework of title insurance and the various intricacies of title products. The course will address the common misconceptions regarding title insurance, types of policies and coverage, and the standard language and terminology of title reports. A brief review of claims procedures will be followed by a discussion of typical title reports. The course will conclude with a Q & A.
