RE: Address Confidentiality Program

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
I'd never heard of an Address Confidentiality Program so I had to look it up. It seems it is a program to help protect victims of domestic violence, etc.. In my opinion, public information is public information unless a Court orders otherwise. This is well beyond the scope of title insurance and settlement ...

As with many things we encounter in life, just say "NO"! Some reasons for saying NO include: -Disbursing directly to an agent rather than to the broker is beyond the scope of your duties as settlement/title agent. If you pay the agent directly you may even make yourself liable for filing a 1099 ...

Different brokers have different contractual arrangements with different agents. Since you are not a party to those contractual arrangements I believe you should only disburse to the Broker on the contract. Imagine what you would do if you were the broker and a settlement agent paid too much of the commission ...

Good morning Mary, I believe the point members have been trying to make regarding your many posts is that these posts are more appropriate as paid advertising on ALTA's website or in its publications, not in this forum. ------------------------------ Donna Brady Miller Inter-County Abstract ...

Hi Gail, Is the "Letter of Attestation" the same as a closing protection letter, or do they want something more than that? Thanks, Donna Donna Brady Miller Inter-County Abstract 303 - 10th Street, Suite 2 Honesdale, PA 18431 Phone: 570-253-4734

YES, PLEASE STOP THE ADS!! I open the forum emails to see if there is information that is useful for my business, not to be bombarded with advertising. I'm at the point I want to block the forum emails but I don't want to miss useful information. ------------------------------ Donna Brady Miller Inter-County ...

I agree. I'm considering ignoring the emails about forum posts because there is so much advertising. Thanks, Donna Donna Brady Miller Inter-County Abstract 303 – 10th Street, Suite 2 Honesdale, PA 18431 Phone: 570-253-4734 Fax: 570-300-2189 Email: donna@icatitle.com; On the web at ...

RE: What Do You Think About ChatGPT?

I appreciate your response, and I thank you for that example, but I think it's ironic that the AI response doesn't mention the following from the NYT coverage of the Congressional hearing: Mr. Altman sounded a bit like J. Robert Oppenheimer in the hearing. Things didn't go well with that technology ...

I've been reading all the positive responses about ChatGPT and they leave me more than a little concerned. This technology may use material subject to copyright protections, private information, misinformation AND it can impersonate you. It can take your profile picture and insert it into unfavorable ...

I'm sure it's different state-by-state, but in Pennsylvania the commission gets paid to the broker(s) set-forth on the Agreement of Sale. The agent works under the broker and is only entitled to the portion of the commission stipulated in their contract with the broker. If you pay the funds to someone ...

GSE's and Atty Opinion Letters

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
Am I the only one old enough to remember that Attorney Opinion Letters were once the norm and title insurance was an outlier? My predecessor worked very hard to introduce title insurance to our corner of NE Pennsylvania, and now I'm seeing things go backwards! While there are many attorneys who focus ...

RE: Disburse before Recording

Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
In Pennsylvania the title doesn't transfer until the fully executed deed and funds are exchanged, therefore you cannot record the deed unless you have delivered the funds to the Seller or their representative. A bring down should be done prior to closing, and the documents recorded immediately after ...
