The law of real property is one of the basic law school courses, and is a must for paralegals in a business law firm. This course will examine the system of common law property, the recording acts, conveyancing, mortgaging, landlord-tenant and financing. Discussion will cover the subjects every paralegal should know about land transactions and the documents which record the purchase, sale and leasing of real estate. Besides buyer-seller issues, you should be able to deal with title insurance companies, recorders of deeds, and to recognize land finance subjects. You will also address foreclosure of mortgages and the possibility of redeeming a mortgage that has gone into default.

This is an accelerated course. You will be expected to spend an average of at least 8 hours per week reading and completing assignments. Please note that extensions will not be granted.
