My services include picking up the closed loan files, recorded documents, and policy jackets. I will obtain the attorney's preferred transmittal language and letterhead/envelopes if desired. I prepare the applicable documents and make the appropriate copies. I confirm the requirements regarding satisfied mortgage(s)/lien(s), if any, have been met. Upon completion of these processes, I return the files either ready to be "killed" or a note advising of any missing documentation of which I will continue to follow up on the same. The physical mailing of the original policies and recorded documents can be handled in numerous ways. The client will determine what is best for him/her including but not limited to my signing and mailing all documents so as not to burden the attorney or his/her staff.
My services are billed on a per policy basis. An itemized invoice is provided at the time the policies and files are delivered to the attorney's office insuring a complete accounting of all policies written.
I maintain for your records a complete accounting of all policy jackets and, if requested, will also participate/assist in the annual jacket audit at no additional charge.
Consultation services are also available for any or all of the areas of a real estate closing to include but not limited to:
- Reading a title abstract
- Preparing the title commitment or preliminary opinion letter
- Preparing documents for recording
- Preparing final title insurance policy and/or final opinion letter
- Recording release/satisfaction of mortgage, UCC, etc.
Consulting will be customized to address the specific needs of the attorney's office/staff and is billed at an hourly rate of $75.00 per hour.
I have a professional home office at my smoke free residence West Ashley in a separate room designed specifically as my workstation for my professional needs. My operating system on my Dell is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. I prepare all documents in either Word 2002, Wordperfect 9, or SoftPro standard version 11.0.0. I have a full size Canon copier, HP Laserjet printer, scanner, fax machine and Pitney Bowes mailstation.
