  REBA’s Title Insurance and National Affairs Section is inviting MPA members for a webinar with Ruth Dillingham of Dillingham Law LLC.

  As of March 1st, the Treasury Department (FinCEN) will require reporting on certain residential real estate transactions – generally those without a conventional mortgage, and where the transferee is an entity or trust. This webinar will review how to use the new ALTA Seller and Buyer Information Collection and Certification forms, to gather the information required to make the report. 

  The program will also provide practical suggestions to help prepare for issues that may arise when third parties are asked for the information you need. 

  If you are doing any residential real estate transfers, particularly ones including cash sales, or those without conventional institutional financing, this program is a ‘must attend.'

  Please click to register and the zoom link will be emailed to you the day before!
