[-] ATTORNEY CERTIFICATIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA? - Angela Sharp/CA (3 replies)
7/30/2020 3:55:23 PM (1732 views)

Is it true that all title searches in West Virginia have to be certified by an attorney? 

I came across this today on the Stewart site: “Unauthorized Practice of Law opinion (UPL) states that attorneys must be directly or indirectly involved with all aspects of closings, including the search of the public records; contract searches should be done by or under the supervision of a West Virginia attorney. Title insurance may only be issued upon an opinion by a licensed West Virginia attorney.”

I have been getting fees for title searches in WV, and none of the abstractors mentioned attorney certifications, so I am trying to clarify, as I know sometimes there can be exceptions written into these laws, and maybe local abstractors know something I don't...  Plus the writing on the Stewart site doesn't quote a specific law, so maybe it is just their preference...?

 

Anyone know anything about this?
