Title Examination Standards
Chapter 1, App.
Chapter 2. The Abstract
§2.3. Unmatured Special Assessments.

A Title Examiner is warranted in requiring that the abstract have a certificate showing unmatured installments of special assessments, if any, which may affect the land under examination.

Comment: There are numerous governmental bodies empowered to levy special assessments which are valid liens against real property. A Final Certificate stating that there are no unpaid installments of special assessments against the real estate under examination would not necessarily disclose unmatured installments of special assessments which might be valid encumbrances thereon. The practice of covering the matter by specifically stating in the title opinion that the opinion does not cover unmatured special assessments is not recommended.

Adopted December 2, 1965. Resolution No. 5, 1965 Real Property Committee, 36 O.B.A.J. 2094 & 2182 (1965) and Exhibit B, id . at 2097-98 & 2185-86. Approved by Real Property Section and adopted by House of Delegates, 37 O.B.A.J. 437 (1966).
