Ch. 1 – Basic Concepts
Description
The attorney engaging in transactional real property practice requires a basic orientation regarding the legal requirements of real property ownership, Florida’s recording system, title examination, and the history of title insurance. This session of New Member Training introduces these and other underlying principles of real property law. This session includes a review of the “anatomy” of the title commitment, title policy and closing protection letter. Broad concepts essential to the understanding of real estate closings and the issuance of title insurance and relevant terminology are discussed. These include the proper description of real property on instruments of conveyance and liens, conveyances of interests in a representative capacity and state and federal regulation.
