REPRESENTING AN ENTITY...

Provided by third party with no affiliation to WFG Title Ins Co. and at no cost to WFG Title Inc. Co. WFG Title Ins. Co. makes no representation that any of the information is current or accurate and does not endorse or otherwise accept responsibility for the information.

If an agent believes he is going to work with an entity, it is important to get proof of the representa-tive’s authorization before beginning to work with that representative but definitely before entering into an agreement with that representative. If an agent represents an entity such as an LLC and thinks that the representative she has been working with is the authorized manager and they execute a listing agreement, there may be no enforceable agreement if the person is in fact not authorized to blind or sign on behalf of the LLC.

In order to avoid these and other similar problems, the following documents should be requested to confirm the person signing the contract/listing agreement is the person authorized to do so:

1. Limited Liability Company (LLC): Operating Agreement of a Certificate of Members (or Managers) designating the member (of manager) authorized to conduct business on behalf of the LLC.

2. Corporation: Certificate of Directors (or Secretary’s Certificate) designating the officer that authorized to conduct business on behalf of the corporation.

3. Partnership: Partnership Agreement designating either the managing partner of the general partner and certificate of partners authorizing the transaction.

4. Trust: Trustee’s Certificate stating who the current trustee is and listing out the powers of the trustee (which should include the purchase/sale of real property)

5. Estate: Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration stating who the executor is and is the probate court’s authorization regarding the estate.

The title company will also require an entity’s documents to complete the transaction. The following documents are often set forth on a title report as required by the title company (but check the preliminary title report or with your title officer for your particular transaction):

1. LLC: articles of Organization, Operating Agreement (certified by the appropriate manager or member that is the current copy), and a current list of the members if the company is member-managed.

2. Corporation: Certificate of good standing; Certificate of Directors designating the officer thatis authorized to conduct business on behalf of the corporation; A copy of the corporate resolution authorizing a particular transaction, i.e., sell or borrower, specifying the property involved in that particular transaction.

3. Partnership: Certified copy of the partnership authority, Partnership Agreement (certified by the ppropriate partner(s) that it is the current copy), satisfactory evidence of a consent of majority of interest of limited partners (if a limited partnership).

4. Trust: excerpts from the trust instrument designating the trustee and trustee’s powers, Trustee’s Certificate.

5: Estate: Evidence that final taxes and/or estate taxes have been paid for descendent/estate and an order by the probate court allowing the transaction.

Please keep in mind that this information is used for general purposes. For any further questions regarding an entity, please contact your title rep.

Page 16: WFG Title and Escrow Information Booklet

California's builders, in an effort to combat the dual problem of an increasing population and a de-

clining availability of prime land, are increasingly turning to common interest developments (CIDs)

as a means to maximize land use and offer homebuyers convenient, affordable housing.

The two most common forms of common interest developments in California are Condominiums

and Planned Developments, often referred to as PUDs. The essential characteristics shared by

these two forms of ownership are:

1.Common ownership of private residential property;2.Mandatory membership of all owners in an association which controls use of the common property;3.Governing documents which establish the procedures for governing the association, the rules which the owners must follow in the use of their individual lots or units as well as the common properties; and4.A means by which owners are assessed to finance the operation of the association and maintenance of the common properties.

Before continuing further, it may be helpful to clarify a common misconception about Condominiums and PUDs. The terms Condominium and PUD refer to types of interests in land, not to physical styles of dwellings. Therefore, when homebuyers say that they are buying a townhouse, that is not the same as saying that they are buying a Condominium. When homebuyers say that they are buying a unit in a PUD, they are not neces-sarily buying a single-family detached home. Though the townhouse is the most common style of structure found in common interest developments in California, a townhouse might legally be a Condominium, a unit or lot in a Planned Development, or a single-family detached residence. The terms Condominium or PUD will say a great deal about the ownership rights the buyer will receive in the unit and the interest they will acquire in the common properties or common areas of the development.

Common interest developments offer many advantages to homebuyers-low maintenance and access to at-tractive amenities-however, there are restrictions and duties which come with ownership of a Condominium or PUD that buyers should be aware of prior to purchase.

To acquaint you with various aspects of ownership in common interest developments, the California Land Title Association has answered some of the questions most commonly asked about Condominiums and PUDs.

What are the basic differences between ownership of a Condominium and ownership of a PUD?

The owner(s) of a unit within a typical Condominium project owns 100% of the unit, as defined by a recorded Condominium Plan. As well, they will own a fractional or percentage interest in all common areas of the Con-dominium project.

The owner(s) of a lot within a PUD own the lot which has been conveyed to them-as shown in the recorded Tract Map or Parcel Map-and the structure and improvements thereon. In addition, they receive rights and easements to use in common areas owned by another-frequently a homeowner’s association-of which the individual lot owners are members.

The above are basic descriptions and should not be considered legal definitions.

UNDERSTANDING REQUIRED REPORTING TO THE I.R.S

Provided by third party with no affiliation to WFG Title Ins Co. and at no cost to WFG Title Inc. Co. WFG Title Ins. Co. makes no representation that any of the information is current or accurate and does not endorse or otherwise accept responsibility for the information.

Sellers of real property will have certain information regarding the sale reported to the Internal Revenue Service. This required reporting of information is a consequence of the Tax Reform Act of 1986; it is intended to encourage taxpayer compliance with the Internal Revenue Code and aid in audit and enforce-ment efforts by the I.R.S.

To help you better understand this subject, the California Land Title Association has answered some of the questions most commonly asked about required reporting to the I.R.S.

Who is required to report to the I.R.S?

Sellers of real property, under guidelines established by the I.R.S., are required to have the dollar amount of their gross proceeds from the sale reported on a Form 1099S. When a settlement agent is used, the I.R.S. makes the settlement agent responsible for the delivery of the seller’s gross proceeds information on the Form 1099S.

The settlement agent generally will be the escrow agent or title company; however, it may be an attorney, real estate broker or other person providing settlement services.

What is an I.R.S. Form 1099S; and what will be reported?

The Form 1099S is the reporting form adopted by the I.R.S. for submitting the seller’s gross proceeds information required by law.

The information is transferred onto magnetic media by the settlement agent who will make the required re-port to the I.R.S. The settlement agent is also required to keep a master copy of all transactions reported for a length of four years from the date of transaction.

In general, information required by the I.R.S. falls into the following categories:

1.The name, address and taxpayer ID number (social security or tax identification number, often called the (“TIN”) of the seller(s))2.A general description of the property (in most cases an address)3.The closing date of the transaction4.The gross proceeds of the transaction (even though gross proceeds do not correspond to taxable income)5.Any property involved as part of the transaction other than cash or cash equivalent6.The name, address and taxpayer identification number of the settlement agent7.Real estate tax paid in advance that is allocable to the buyer.

What is A Deed?

What’s a Warranty Deed?A Warranty Deed transfers your ownership and explicitly promises the buyer that you have

good title to the property. It may make other promises as well, to address particular problems

with the transaction.

Does a deed have to be notarized?Yes. The person who signs the deed (the person who is transferring the property) should take

the deed to a notary public, who will sign and stamp it. The Notarization means that a notary

before the deed will be accepted for recording.

What’s a Trust Deed?A Trust Deed (also called Deed of Trust) isn’t like the other types of deeds; it’s not used to

transfer property. It’s really just a version of a mortgage, commonly used in some states (Cali-

fornia, for example).

A Trust Deed transfers title to land to a “Trustee,” usually a trust or title company,

which holds the land as security for a loan. When the loan is paid off, title is transferred to

the borrower. The trustee has no powers unless the borrower defaults on the loan; then the

court.

Page 23: WFG Title and Escrow Information Booklet

What is A Uninsured Deed?

An uninsured deed is basically a deed that has not been examined or insured by a title company.

The most common problems that arise due to an uninsured deed are from Quitclaim Deeds between family members, especially husband and wife.

When a person is added to title there is an opportunity for matters recorded against him/her to attached to the property.

Why Should it be of Concern?

In a sale or loan transaction the validity of an uninsured deed may be questioned.

Uninsured deeds may also cause a delay in clearing title.

The following items may indicate that an uninsured deed is present.

POR QUE NECESITO SEGURO DE TITULO?

El Seguro de Título. Este término se oye y se ve con frecuencia. Se menciona en la sección de bienes raíces los domingos, en las propagandas y en las conversaciones entabladas con los corredores de inmuebles. Si a Usted le ha tocado comprar una casa antes, probablemente tiene conocimiento de los beneficios y de los procedimientos del seguro de título. Por otro lado, si se trata de la primera casa, po-dría preguntarse. ¿Por qué necesito otra póliza de seguro? Es nada más otro recibo a cancelar?

La respuesta es sencilla: La compra de una casa probablemente es una de las más caras e importantes que jamás hará. Tanto Usted como el prestamista de hipoteca querrá asegurarse de que la propiedad realmente sea de Usted – por completo – y que no haya ni persona ni entidad de gobierno que tenga ningún derecho, derecho de retención, reclamación o gravamen contra la propiedad.

Las empresas de seguros de título se dedican a asegurarle que sus derechos e intereses con respecto a una propiedad estén limpios, que la transferencia de título se realice eficiente y debidamente, y que sus intereses como comprador de casa sean protegidos al máximo.

Las empresas de seguros de título proporcionan sus servicios a los compradores, vendedores, urbaniza-dores, constructores, prestamistas de hipoteca y otros que tengan parte en una transferencia de bienes raíces. Las empresas de títulos rutinariamente expiden dos clases de pólizas – la del dueño, la cual le cubre a Usted, comprador de casa, y la del prestamista, la cual le cubre al banco, sociedad de ahorro y préstamo u otra institución de préstamos a lo largo de la duración del préstamo. Las dos pólizas se expiden al momento de la compra a cambio de una sola prima de bajo costo.

Sin embargo, antes de expedir una póliza, la empresa de títulos realiza una búsqueda extensa al revisar los registros públicos pertinentes para averiguar si existe otra persona más allá de Usted que tenga algún interés en la propiedad. El personal de la empresa puede llevar tal revisión a cabo valiéndose de los regis-tros públicos. Lo más probable es que utilicen los datos reunidos, organizados nuevamente o puestos en índice en la planta de título de la empresa.

A través de semejante inspección minucioso de los registros, todo problema de título usualmente se halla y se aclara antes de hacerse la compra de la propiedad. Después de la emisión de una póliza de título, si por algún motivo se presente cualquier reclamación contra la propiedad que está cubierta bajo la póliza de título, la empresa de títulos pagará el honorario legal por la defensa de sus derechos, así como cualquier pérdida cubierta que surja de una reclamación válida. Tal protección está vigente siempre y cuando Usted o sus herederos posean la propiedad y es suya a cambio de una sola prima cancelada en el momento de la compra.
