This CLE course will provide real estate counsel with a review and discussion on how to identify and resolve title defects and boundary issues arising from property surveys, easements, and encroachments. The program will analyze the various issues that give rise to these common matters and best practices for addressing them to close the deal.

Description

The goal of every real estate deal attorney is to ensure a timely and smooth closing of the transaction. Title defects and survey matters are just two of the many hurdles that transactional attorneys must clear.

While many risks can create an encumbrance or cloud on title, real estate practitioners regularly deal with title defects involving easements and undiscovered encroachments. Similarly, boundary/survey disputes often arise due to conflicting survey reports or historic occupation that may differ from what is shown on a survey.

Armed with the knowledge to cure common title defects, practitioners can ensure that they close real estate transactions on time and with few surprises. Title insurance may be an appropriate resolution of certain title defects.

Listen as our authoritative panel of real estate practitioners discusses best practices for identifying and curing title defects arising from easements, encroachments, and survey/boundary disputes.
