Abstracting Titles in the Appalachian Basin
Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh/Southpointe
1000 Corporate Drive, Canonsburg, PA 15317
March 10, 2011– Basic Abstracting
March 11, 2011– Intermediate Issues in Title Examination
The Energy & Mineral Law Foundation is sponsoring two (2) separate programs on Abstracting Titles in the Appalachian Basin, with a primary focus on Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Thursday, March 10 is a basic abstracting course, explaining how you begin the process, the indicies you will need to pull, documenting the records you review, pulling all the information together, and finally reviewing a sample title opinion to see how your work is used in a title opinion.
For those wanting additional instruction, the March 11 program covers intermediate title problems, including such interpretive issues as the mineral/royalty distinction; Sheriff’s sales and other judicial sales; tax sales; probate and intestate succession. The afternoon of the second day is devoted to curing problems found during the title examination, with a panel of knowledgeable title attorneys analyzing a series of different title defects and offering their expertise on the appropriate cure.
Registrants may submit written questions in advance for the panel to consider by emailing them to info@emlf.org.
