What is NYSLTA?
The New York State Land Title Association, Inc. (NYSLTA) is a statewide Association that advances the interests of all those involved in abstracting, examining or insuring title to real estate. Our membership includes title insurance companies licensed in New York State, abstract companies, title insurance agents, law firms, individual attorneys, surveyors and others actively involved in the real estate industry. NYSLTA is chartered to issue CLE credits, and an active advocate on Federal issues through our membership in the American Land Title Association.
Who can join NYSLTA?
Two levels of membership are available.
Regular Membership
Abstracters, abstract companies and title insurance agents may join the Association as “Regular” (voting) members. Regular Members are entitled to serve as officers in the Association, serve on the Executive Committee and have the right to vote on Association matters.
Associate Membership
The second level of membership is “Associate” (non-voting) member. Employees and officers of NYSLTA members, attorneys-at-law, public recording officers, licensed surveyors, officers of mortgage lending institutions and other individuals interested in the title profession may join as Associate Members.
What does it cost to join NYSLTA?
Membership dues are based upon class of membership as described above and the Membership Zone in which you are located. Regular Members pay dues based upon their total number of employees. We have provided members with the opportunity to advertise their services outside the counties of their physical locations. Instructions for additional county listings are included in the Membership application.
What are the benefits of joining NYSLTA?
NYSLTA provides training, educational programs and seminars for the benefit of its members and our industry. The Association monitors legislative proposals, judicial decisions, new legislation and regulations on state and national levels. Standing committees are in place to analyze and report on issues impacting our profession. When confronted with issues such as recording delays, controlled business or violations of New York Laws, the NYSLTA proactively responds to legislation, measures or practices detrimental to the land title industry.
Members of NYSLTA are kept informed on crucial issues impacting the industry. Alerts and emergency updates are e-mailed to NYSLTA members, as necessary, for immediate information, review or response. NYSLTA publishes an annual directory listing the names, addresses and contact information for all members. Updates, changes and additions to the directory are posted quarterly on our web site.
A highlight of NYSLTA membership is the Annual Meeting and Convention. Members from across the state look forward to the convention for networking, educational seminars and highly regarded speakers from across America. At the convention, the Association elects its officers and conducts other official business. The convention also provides social occasions for Members to establish personal relationships with each other. These relationships yield professional advantages and often become the basis for lifelong friendships.
