Please join REBA’s Paralegal, New Lawyers and Residential Conveyancing Sections for a webinar at 12 noon on Thursday, May 19th. Keira Gibson of Kajko, Weisman & Colasanti, LLP and Mike Powers of CATIC will present.
Our speakers will explain the meaning of and many differences between marketable title and insurable title. Title issues at the time of a sale can hinder or delay the closing, as the Buyer expects good, clear and marketable title. The willingness of the underwriter to offer insurable title, despite marketability issues, often allows the transaction to move forward.
The panelists will also discuss MGL, C. 93, §70 a statute requiring certification of title by a Massachusetts attorney upon closing on a residential purchase. This statutory requirement includes any 1-4 family, owner-occupied property.
This webcast program, open to all REBA members, is from 12 to 1 pm on Thursday, May 19th. There will be no in-person attendance.
