The Basics of Title: a Crash Course for the First-Time Title Professional

In our industry today, we have many title professionals who enter their positions having very little knowledge of the title products and services we provide.  And, although they become experts in their assigned roles, they do not have a good understanding of the big picture or their importance in creating it. 

This seminar is designed to provide a better understanding of the basic concepts of title and closing for those who are currently in the industry who want to know more about their current role or want to explore possibly changing their position.  It is also for professionals outside of the industry who are considering a new career path.

Tyler Moore, Escrow Manager (Moore Title), ILTA Past President (2008)
Richard E. Hendrickson, Attorney (Codilis Law, LLC), ILTA Past President (2001)
Tom Fickle, Indiana Agency Services Manager (Stewart Title Guaranty), ILTA Past President (2000)
Susan Jones, President and Co-Owner (Royal Title Services – Statewide), ILTA Past President (1990-1991)
