**** The VLTA Certified Title Examiners Course Text **** When a title question comes up in the clerk's office or at the closing table, you need the controlling statute and the deciding case right away. For more than 80 years, A Virginia Title Examiners' Manual and the book it grew out of, A Manual for Title Examiners in Virginia, have given Virginia practitioners exactly that. The Sixth Edition builds on the work of Lucian B. Cox, Sydney F. Parham and Douglass W. Dewing, and it has been chosen as the official text for the VLTA's Virginia Certified Title Examiners course. The Manual's 49 chapters run alphabetically from Acknowledgments to Zoning Ordinances, and they follow problems in the order an examiner meets them: - Building the chain of title and finding the “missing link”
- Checking chancery and judicial-sale papers for defects
- Reading metes-and-bounds descriptions
- Judgment, federal, tax and mechanics' liens
- Decedents' estates, marital interests, easements, restrictions and conveyances by corporations, partnerships and LLCs
Each topic is tied to the current Code of Virginia, including the recodified Titles 55.1 and 64.2, and to leading Supreme Court of Virginia decisions. The older rules are kept too, because examiners still run into instruments made under them. The Manual is built for daily use. It includes statutory forms, a pole-link conversion chart, a course-of-descent guide, a quick reference to limitation periods and curative acts, a checklist of clerks' recording requirements, full tables of cases and statutes, and a detailed index. It's written for attorneys, title examiners and abstractors, title agents and underwriters, settlement agents and paralegals, surveyors, lenders, developers and brokers. If you need to know whether a Virginia title will hold up, this is the one-volume reference to keep at hand. What's new in the Sixth Edition - Major revisions to the chapters on Adverse Possession, Attachment, Chain of Title, Corporations, Deeds and Easements
- The 2021 changes that shortened how long judgment liens can be enforced, plus the new statutory extension certificate
- The elective share and augmented estate rules in effect since 2017
- Remote online notarization, transfer on death deeds, series LLCs and the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act
- The 2021 ALTA policy forms: what title insurance covers, what it excludes and how the examiner's work shapes the policy
- Recent cases, including Deutsche Bank v. Arrington on priority and after-acquired property
