  • Oversee title insurance policies and work with surveyors, consultants, and outside counsel to address title and survey matters.
  • Manage curative work, including obtaining releases, affidavits, and corrective documents to clear title issues that could impact project financing or development.

Project Financing & Risk Management:

  • Assist in preparing real estate documentation for project financing, ensuring land title and leasehold interests align with lender and investor requirements.
  • Identify and mitigate risks related to real estate transactions, including landowner disputes, access rights, and encumbrances.
