    I hope this issue finds you and your family well.  The past year has presented countless challenges to us all personally and professionally.  There used to be distinct boundaries between “personal” and “professional” but with remote work and remote learning for children, we are all adapting to this new hybrid environment, and the Real Estate Councils are no different.

  • ALERT! Change in premium rates

    On Monday, April 3, 2023, proposed Senate Bill 7052 was filed.  Section 23 of that bill would effectively eliminate promulgated rates for title insurance in Florida.  Recognizing the huge potential impacts of such a change to Florida’s rate structure, The Fund, the members of the Florida Land Title Association and the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar immediately began efforts to educate Florida lawmakers on this issue.  We emphasized how our current rate structure supports title agents.  While we want to make you aware of this proposed legislation, please rest assured that The Fund and its professional team in Tallahassee are working to oppose Section 23, of Senate Bill 7052.
