Title Insurance and Closing Services.

Title Insurance:

In virtually every arms-length real estate transaction in Wisconsin, the seller is obligated to provide an Owner's Policy of Title Insurance to the buyer, insuring that the buyer has received good, clear title to the property. In addition, every lender involved in a transaction will require a policy of title insurance, to be paid for by the buyer, to insure the lender's mortgage as a valid, enforceable lien against the property. As a licensed agent for Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG), Guttormsen Law Office is authorized to write and provide title insurance policies for sellers and lenders in a wide range of transactions.

The unique characteristic of ATG is that its agent network is comprised entirely of licensed real estate attorneys so as to ensure the highest level of knowledge and understanding of real estate and title matters. By utilizing experienced real estate attorneys as its agents, ATG is able to offer an enhanced quality product, combining basic title services with the legal expertise often required to resolve both routine and complex legal issues that may arise. And since ATG attorney agents hold both a license to practice law and a license to write title insurance, they possess the knowledge, skill and authority to draft all legal documents needed for the completion of a transaction and will proudly accept full responsibility for their accuracy, content and legal effect. Other title companies cannot, or at least should not, offer such services.

Closing Services:

As a licensed title insurance company and an authorized agent for Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG), Guttormsen Law Office, LLC provides closing services for every manner of real estate transaction. We will expertly prepare all the necessary closing documents and conduct the closing for the benefit of sellers, whether cash transactions or transactions involving bank financing. We also conduct closings for the benefit of lenders in transactions in which we have provided the title insurance, or when a lender simply requires an experienced, professional closing agent regardless of whether we represent either party to the transaction. These include traditional closings for out-of-area lenders who are making loans to local buyers and which involve processing the entire closing package and the recording and delivery of all documents upon funding approval, as well as witness closings in which we simply witness the borrower's execution of the closing documents, notarize the same, and return them to the lender as directed. Whether a formal closing or a witness closing, an original loan or a refinance, if you are in need of a closing attorney in Kenosha, Wisconsin or the surrounding area, we are willing and able to provide a full range of closing services to sellers and lenders.
