Course Description
The ALTA/ACSM standards have always spelled out in detail what records research and other information is to be provided to the surveyor for use in preparing an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. The 2011 standards attempted to clarify and expand some of those responsibilities, in addition to adding some new requirements. The new 2021 Standards for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys provide greater clarity on to what is to be provided and, importantly, what the surveyor must do if that information is not forthcoming. In this course, we will delve into Section 4—the Records Research section of the 2021 ALTA/NSPS standards—and explain the requirements.
Pre-Requisite Knowledge
The only prerequisite consideration for this course is an interest in gaining an enhanced understanding of the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys and, in particular, the research requirements.
