Why Use Us?
Compliance
Most state bars and title insurance underwriters require monthly reconciliations of your escrow trust accounts. Licensed title agencies are required to submit their reconciliations to their licensing title insurers on a monthly basis. Certain title insurers may require their attorney title insurance agents to submit monthly as well. All procedures are designed towards meeting ALTA Best Practices.
Fraud Prevention
Segregating and limiting control and access to your accounts is key to fraud prevention within your business. Having a third party dedicated to detecting mistakes and errors in your accounts meets this need.
