- Q. If the county clerk's office closes and a deed cannot be recorded, what protects the buyer?
- A: In the event of a recording office closing, title insurance underwriters, as of now, should continue to insure the gap by a temporary inability to record. So when a commitment is issued, the policy and CPL protections should remain in force as if the transaction was properly recorded on the day of disbursement. This, however, is changing daily. We have also begun implementing the use of a mutual indemnification agreements from both the Buyer and Seller to supplement this growing concern.

- Q. We are selling our home for cash. What fees is each party responsible to pay? We live in Florida
- A: The contract determines what closing costs are paid by each party to the transaction. Having said that, typically, as a seller, you should expect to pay real estate commissions. You should also expect to pay documentary stamp taxes on the deed. You will also be required to pay for the title search and any cost related to correcting title defects.
