Description:
Navigating title issues requires more than a cursory review—it demands a strategic understanding of risks, exceptions, and opportunities for protection. In this session, Shareholder Daniel Markind will guide attendees through the hidden pitfalls and practical solutions involved in title insurance review and negotiation. From uncovering “Schedule A landmines” and “Schedule B bear traps” to analyzing land surveys and complex legal descriptions, this presentation offers a comprehensive look at how to identify and mitigate risk early in a transaction.
Attendees will gain insight into effective strategies for negotiating the removal of problematic exceptions or securing affirmative coverage, as well as the essential title insurance endorsements that should not be overlooked. The session will also address common title defects and provide practical approaches for resolving them efficiently to keep deals on track.
This presentation is part of the National Business Institute's full-day workshop titled, "New York Real Estate Closings from Start to Finish."
