LECTURES ON REAL .
ESTATEATY YIN. CA.
Alfred H. Lawson Explains
Details Required in Va
rious Transfers.

Complex details which distinguish
the settlement for a purchase Of real
estate from that for the purchase OF
any other commodity were described
to members OF the Y. N. c. A. real
estate class at this weeks session by
Alfred H. Lawson, secretary OF a
local title insurance company.
In addition to the actual purchase
price there are certain stated cnarses
and items of expense and income that
continue more or less permanently
and run with the title to real estate
that must be adjusted when sale Is
consummated or loan negotiated,
Mr.. Lawson said. These items' whlSh
usually. extend over definite perlods,
are in some instances paid in advance
and in other instances accrue until
maturity.
Function Of Title Company.
In either case it hardly ever occurs
that a sale is consummated at time
when all such items are evenly pal-
anced. Consequently, IN order 70
equitably settle transaction in real
estate involving either sale or loan.
these matters must be adjusted In the
form of debts and credits. This
phase of work is one of the func-
tions Of a modern title company.
Mr.. Lawson outlined the methods
employed COEIGClly ~ SAASSo
items in order that both the buyer
and the seller may have an equitable
adjustment. Taxes and interest on
existing mortgages; not being pay
able in advance, are charged on a
pro rata basis to the seller. while
rent, which is generally collected In
advance, is credited to the purchaser
in the same manner. Premiums paid
in advance for fire insurance as well
as water rent are also adjusted on the
same basis. These items, together
with charges for title certificate and
other incidental charges, complete
the adjustment as to the purchaser
and, with the addition of the brokers'
commission, also complete the trans
action with the seller.
Sale Contract Vital.
1t was pointed out that the sale
contract, which Is generally entered
into by the parties, controls In the
matter of adjustment. Very great
care should be exercised In the prep
ara tion of such contracts. SO that they
express the terms and special agree
ments exactly as desired and under.
stood by all parties. Carelessness In
this respect frequently results In
failure to consummate sales, produces
litigation and sometimes causes ad-
ditional and unexpected expense to
the party ON whom the liability rests.
At the next meeting of this class
James j. Becker, vice president OF
local title insurance company, will
discuss "conveyancing.
