This one-day program is designed to meet the seven-hour live reinstatement CLE course requirement of the WSBA bylaws which allows a Limited Practice Officer who has been inactive for six or more years to transfer to active status while waiving the Limited Practice Officer examination. It is also being made available to active Limited Practice Officers and all WSBA members for continuing legal education credit. This program will be offered as a hybrid program. You may join us in the WSBA conference center or online for the live webcast.
This course will benefit active LPOs who would like a refresher of the Limited Practice Board approved documents and a thorough discussion of current title insurance issues and some of the more troublesome title clearing challenges faced during the course of a real estate closing. The course will also provide a thorough discussion of the Rules of Professional Conduct presented by Washington State Bar Association Senior Professional Responsibility Counsel, Jeanne Marie Clavere. Fred Phillips will also examine the scope of practice for Limited Practice Officers and talk specifically about recurring issues in this area.
Attorneys who would like to better understand the Limited Practice Officer’s role in real estate closings generally would benefit from this course. This course will provide a primer for attorneys who are interested in learning more about real estate closings and the major documents utilized during a real estate closing as well as a good introduction/discussion of real estate title insurance and some best practices for clearing a real estate title in preparation for a real estate closing.
