Ask for an ALTA 34 endorsement covering the risk and guaranteeing the title insurer will re-insure a subsequent transfer.

As soon as practical following the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall cause a current commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the "Commitment") to be issued and delivered to Seller and Buyer.

That may or may not be a big deal depending on how you feel about things.Regarding  title insurance, this is simply not accurate.I've posted the defintion of "the Insured" under the standard ALTA owners policy several times on BP.

Also, an ALTA, topography, and geotech survey has not been done yet.

The ones we end up housing are working in Oakland (alta bates and children's hospital).

I also have a vacation rental in Alta Sierra.I think this is going to be a really good year for Kern County in terms of real estate.

I know a couple of non Real Estate Top 1% SEO people, and I have done SEO since 1996, pre Google, think Alta Vista where white text keyword stuffing was a technique.

@LaTrice Levy every settlement I’ve been through has always included either a HUD-1 or ALTA statement signed by both parties.

The ALTA statement at closing will always show where each dollar in the transaction goes to, so that just results in a frustrated seller who feels wronged. 

What about the impending melt-down in the Alt-A market some are predicting?
