An end loan is the permanent financing that follows a construction loan.

We offer construction loan policies for $150.  This rate is afforded to builders for financing during the construction of a single-family or duplex dwelling.  The policy is effective during the term of construction and for a reasonable period of time thereafter to allow for refinance or resale of the property.  This policy does not include Mechanic's Lien coverage.

A Certificate of Title is a limited search which shows the last deed of record, legal description, taxes, liens, and oil and gas information affecting the subject property.  It is not a full search and should not be relied upon to provide fee simple ownership information.  An O&E Report is a full search which shows fee simple ownership, legal description, taxes, liens, easements, rights of way, restrictive covenants, and any other recorded encumbrances affecting the subject property.

There are many things to consider when deciding whether a Transfer on Death Deed (TODD)is the right tool for you.  For that reason, we view TODDs as part and parcel of estate planning.  If you are interested in having a TODD prepared, we recommend you consult with an estate planning attorney in private practice.  We do not prepare TODDs.

Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are governed by Operating Agreements.  The operating agreement tells us who in the company has authority to take certain actions.  This is why we require a copy of the operating agreement from an LLC that is selling or mortgaging property.

In Kansas, due to state law, a spouse must consent to the conveyance of real property whether that person is in title to it or not.  In many situations, this applies to the conveyance by mortgage as well.

In Kansas, if you hold title with another person as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and the other title holder dies, you will then own the whole estate.  If you own as tenants in common with another person, you each own 1/2, and if one of you dies,  that person's half would then be owned by their estate.
