A HONE COMPANY
BROADENS ITS SCOPE
The Florida Title & Abstract Corpor-
alton Has Begun Issuing Title
Insurance Policies

Upon the theory that every mans
work is more interesting than ones
own, talk lately had with the man
ager of the Florida Title & Abstract
Corporation brought out some inter-
esting facts regarding title insurance
as most desirable way for the land
owner to present the quality Of his
title to the prospective buyer
That there is good title to all
land is the beginning fact; the prob
lem being To find where that good or
paramount title rests. Title condi-
tIons IN Marion county are practically
the same as ii any other sparsely
settled ard andeveloped section Of
the country. While lands are cheap.
both buyer and seller are prone to
avoid expense, perhaps not deeming
the saving Of greater value than
good title b1t the smf 1 amount IN
volved seeming to preclude the nec-
essity Of careful methods, with a re-
suit that the record title becomes
clouded and seenlinggy not merchant
able. An abstract Of such record
title submitted to. an attorney not
convansant with the statutes and
court decisions of the state would
often produce a report to his client
that an investment II land having
that character Of title would be pre-
carious, while as a matter Of fact the
title might, while technically not per-
feet, be absolutely unassailabIe. Yet
other titles while not being merchants
able are susceptible of being made SO
by little work in clearing up the de-
ficiencies. Abstracts Of title are not
satisfactory as system for the
showing of the record title to real es-
tate for they are long and compli-
Gated. The ordinary man can tell
nothing about his title after reading
his abstract. This is increasingly
true and will continue to grow worse
as the number OF transfers increase.
An injustice Of the system is in the
cost, an abstract of title to a parcel
of land worth $500 is frequently
more expensive than one to a piece of
property worth $1,000. technical de-
fects which do not affect the right Of
possession or occupancy or the right,
title or interest of the owner, but are
flaws III the legal title, are the most
common causes of large expense and
loss of time in perfecting an abstract.
The system is slow, much time is
wasted, deals are lost, money is tied
up and much annoyance is caused by
the length Of time that it takes to
procure an abstract Of the title and
then cure the record objections that
the abstract makes apparent.
Many Of these objections are pure
" technical and one examining at
torney will pass some of them as not

examine its title and he will lay stress
upon the very objection that to the
earlier examiner appeared trivial.
For years, titles IN the northern
and eastern states have been insured
by companies who IN addition to their
abstract department carried title.

opinion such deficiencies did not

to guarantee against everyth - -

Justice Potter Of the Pennsy1vania

The sole object Of title insurance is
to cover possibilities through defects
that may cloud or invalidate titles. Il
is for the assumption Of whatever
risk there may be IN such connection
that the premium is paid to and ac-
cepted by the company which issues
the policy.
Title insurance is not mere guess
work, nor is it a gamble. It is based
upon a careful examination Of the
rnuniments of title and the exercise
of Judgment by skilled conyeyancers.
