About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will examine the importance of comprehensive title and survey provisions in commercial real estate purchase and sale agreements (PSAs). The panel will discuss key negotiation and drafting considerations for buyers and sellers and offer best practices for mitigating client risks.

Description

The title and survey review in the purchase and sale of commercial real estate is a key part of the process to mitigate the risk of potential issues that could arise later, including costly disputes, project delays, or restrictions related to property development. Therefore, boilerplate language should be avoided and careful attention should be given to negotiating and drafting the title and survey provisions in the PSA. 

Key drafting considerations include: (1) identifying the party responsible for paying for and obtaining the title commitment, title company settlement fees, and survey, along with relevant deadlines; (2) defining permitted exceptions; and (3) describing the seller's obligations to cure title defects and buyer's termination rights.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines key issues for buyers and sellers when negotiating and drafting title and survey provisions in PSAs and offers best practices for mitigating client risks.
