About This Course

Real property attorneys review title reports daily. However, title reports and policies have become so common, that many attorneys have not considered for quite some time the important tenets of title insurance.

Mr. Bagwell’s seminar presentation will introduce new and junior attorneys to the basic conceptual framework of title insurance while also re-acquainting senior counsel to the intricacies of various title products. Several common misconceptions regarding various aspects of title insurance will be identified and clarified. The type of title policies and the coverage provided will be discussed as well. Title “language” and terms will be defined. Claims procedures will be covered briefly. Finally, Mr. Bagwell will review and discuss a typical Title Report.
