Why Procrastinate ?
The owner of a guaranteed title holds the best that money can buy;
the owner of a title not guaranteed holds a mystery—something that
is possibly sound, possibly “clouded” by doubt; at best a- problem for
future solution, a risk that he runs alone, a risk that he must hand
to his heirs unless, before his dbath, it has turned into a calamity.
A Guaranty Certificate provides you with an expert legal opinion,
and in addition GUARANTEES that your title is good.
It GUARANTEES that should you sustain a loss, you will be reimbursed
to the amount of the loss, not exceeding the amount named in the
