The FEDS Deputize a Title Company Posse

Posted By Robert Treuber, Friday, January 15, 2016

The US Department of the Treasury has an operation called Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). You can learn more about them here:  https://www.fincen.gov/

 

Last week, FinCEN issued an order to four title insurance underwriter corporations for certain real estate transactions in Manhattan and Miami.

  

The execution of this order is a business matter between underwriters and their agents.

 

I have found no way in which the NYSLTA can add value to this, other than to disseminate the public version of the Geographic Targeting Order (GTO).  That document is attached to this news post and can be downloaded from this page.

Section B (2) i indicates that title companies also have to demand ID from the person REPRESENTING the purchaser. Attorneys may not be happy about that.
