    Product Description

    This program is for attorneys and paralegals looking for a comprehensive overview of the process of creating and reviewing a residential real estate title abstract. You learn the methods involved in using the grantor and grantee indexes, the basics of searching the online records and various computer systems, and the document books (when accessible)—in addition to the importance of the resources available only at the Registries of Deeds. The program also includes a discussion of what to look for in a title abstract and some helpful tips on solving the issues that can arise in a chain of title. The faculty members are knowledgeable real estate specialists who have years of daily experience with titles. They give you step-by-step explanations that help you recognize practice pitfalls and avoid common mistakes.

    As a special feature, the program materials include a sample of a complete title abstract. The faculty members refer to the abstract during their presentations to explain the documents you review during the title search and to illustrate the steps you must take to clear issues and the errors you must avoid. Attend this program and learn to search a residential real estate title with confidence. Bring your questions to customize the conversation.
