Willis’ “Title Insurance or Title Opinion Letters?” Featured in ABA’s Real Property, Trust, and Estate Law Section eREPORT
January 30, 2024
Scott Willis, a partner in Fishman Haygood’s Business Section, recently co-authored the article “Title Insurance or Title Opinion Letters?” which is the featured cover story of the American Bar Association’s (ABA) Real Property, Trust, and Estate (RPTE) Law Section’s Fall/Winter 2024 eREPORT, an RPTE quarterly digital publication. In the article, Willis offers a detailed comparison of attorney title opinion letters and lender title insurance policies, noting that while title insurance has become the most readily accepted tool for commercial real estate financing transactions, the tension between the two remains relevant today.
