When seeing to the important details of a real estate transaction, it can be easy to overlook one of the most important elements: ensuring the title is transferable in the first place. Marketable title is the key to a successful transfer. Do you have the knowledge and skills necessary to assure your clients the title is clean or to fix it if it isn't? Don't get caught off guard by liens, adverse possession claims, or other encumbrances that you were unaware of.
This program will teach you everything you need to know to obtain a marketable title for your clients' real estate transactions. Identify and neutralize liens and encumbrances using corrective tools and curative actions. Determine best ways to avoid ethical issues in real estate. There's no better way to ensure smooth transactions.
This basic level seminar will benefit attorneys, paralegals, in-house counsel, title agents, loan officers, closing agents, and presidents and vice presidents who need to know what potential title challenges exist and how to solve those problems to ensure a marketable title.
