Commercial Title

Adams | Howell is the rare law firm with a world-class in-house title team that works both independently and seamlessly with our commercial real estate attorneys to protect our clients’ investments and deliver clear, marketable titles. Our ability to coordinate title work with the legal, financial, and practical aspects of a transaction, all under one roof, provides significant efficiencies and helps avoid miscommunications or delays that could hinder a timely closing.

Our comprehensive title services are grounded in a deep understanding of the myriad issues that could affect title, meticulous analysis of all relevant documents, and the experience and savvy needed to neutralize and eliminate defects. We also know title problems don’t exist or arise in a vacuum, and that resolving them requires the ability to work collaboratively with other parties. Our title team maintains strong relationships with title insurance underwriters, lenders, and industry professionals in the Triangle and across North Carolina, all of whom are well aware of our professionalism, thoroughness, and skill —a reputation that facilitates needed cooperation and alignment among all parties.

Adams | Howell handles every aspect of commercial title work, from the initial title search to the final closing. Our services include:

• Title Searches and Examinations. We conduct thorough searches of public records to identify any encumbrances, easements, judgments, or ownership disputes that may affect the property. Our attorneys carefully review each document to ensure the title is valid and free of defects that could impact your rights.
• Title Insurance. We assist clients in obtaining both owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies and work with trusted title insurance underwriters to ensure you receive comprehensive coverage tailored to your transaction.
• Closing Services. We coordinate all aspects of the closing process, ensuring that deeds, financing documents, and title policies are properly executed and recorded.
