This course is also available in the 2018 Paralegal Cruise Bundle.

You found the perfect house, the seller has accepted your offer, and you are ready to close and move in! But as a paralegal specializing in something other than real estate, you may not be familiar with a title commitment or land survey. Do you know what document gives the city or county permission to take/use a portion of your property? Or whether a lender or vendor has a lien on your home? Is that greenbelt behind your house a “real” greenbelt or will you someday have a movie theatre in your backyard? This seminar shows you what real estate agents and subdivision sales agents don’t know or won’t tell you and gives you hands-on experience in reviewing title commitments and land surveys, so you can have the answers you need before buying a new home.
