Welcome Class

Description

At closing, it may be expected that the title agent will “mark up” and deliver the title insurance commitment. What does this mean? How is this accomplished? In this chapter, we together mark up the Chopra to Black title commitment and consider the instruments exchanged at closing, including the all-important Closing Affidavit, and their impact on the marked-up title commitment and final title policy. Afterwards, in a class exercise, attendees will be asked to mark-up their own title insurance commitment.
