• Provide essential legal guidance and risk assessment to the underwriting and escrow teams.

• Proven experience in searching and compiling records from title plants is essential.
• Strong knowledge of California property law, statutes, and legal descriptions is required.
• Must have exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, paired with a meticulous attention to detail.
