Description Attorney Title Opinion Letter

This is an example of a title opinion, which is a written statement from an attorney, either on letterhead stationery or a special form, in which the attorney states his opinion as to the merchantability of the title in question. The opinion briefly describes the property, gives the full names of the owners, and lists any exceptions that the attorney has discovered to the title. Before issuing loans or mortgages, banks and mortgage companies always require that the chain of ownership be examined to insure there are no problems with the title to the property.
