MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the NC Closing Attorney Best Practices Task Force is to establish guidelines for best practices to protect and better represent real estate closing clients, promote quality service, provide for ongoing employee training, and meet legal and market requirements. These guidelines are voluntary and designed to illustrate the professionalism with which real estate closings and settlements are required to be conducted in North Carolina and to ensure a positive and compliant real estate closing experience.
******
At the August 5, 2013, meeting of the North Carolina Bar Association Real Property Section Council, Chair David Woods recommended that a joint task force be organized among the leadership of the Real Property Section, the Real Estate Lawyers of North Carolina (RELANC) and the North Carolina Land Title Association (NCLTA) to address issues on behalf of North Carolina attorneys handling residential real estate closings. The Task Force goals would include development of suggested written procedures, contacting and meeting with lenders, educating attorneys and others in the industry, and any other tasks which the group determines are appropriate.
The North Carolina Attorney Best Practices are designed to assist NC attorneys in complying with the American Land Title Association (ALTA) Best Practices. The Task Force created this website to include information about each best practice, checklists to assist attorneys in determining compliace, resources for information and services and information about the assessment and certification procedure. ALTA MEMBERSHIP is available to Attorneys for only $250/year! See brochure for more information about benefits.
