    How to Find Potential Title Problems in a Proposed Acquisition Project

    via Zoom

    Hosted by Irene Del Bono - title research guru and retired attorney with extensive background in property law in both private practice and at the EEA - this seminar will be a comprehensive guide to help you find deeds that are hard to find; what to do when there are references to things potentially affecting the title; and what it will take to "fix" title issues. This is not a class on title examinations - which should be done by an attorney. This class should help you find an attorney versed in problems that might be attached to a property.
