Box 8181 <br /> Hilisborough,North Carolina 27278 <br /> RE: Engagement For Legal Services: Acceptance of Conservation Easement from <br /> Vann Bennett and wife, Bernadette Pelissier <br /> Thank you for contacting me regarding Orange County's need for legal assistance in the <br /> acquisition of the above referenced conservation easement (the "Easement"). We are pleased to <br /> represent Orange County in this transaction. If agreeable to the County, this letter establishes the <br /> terms of our engagement. <br /> Title Search & Title Insurance <br /> The property to be encumbered by the Easement is comprised of three parcels identified as <br /> having Orange County PINs 9049-09-0929, 9049-79-3056 and 9849-89-6892 (collectively the <br /> "Property"). In preparation for closing, we will perform a title search on the Property. The nature of <br /> that search may take on many one of two forms, depending upon whether or not the title has <br /> previously been insured. If the title has not been previously insured, a search of the public records for <br /> a period of time satisfactory to the title insurance company will be required. If the title has previously <br /> been insured, we can obtain coverage for the County by having the title examined from the effective <br /> date of that coverage to the present. The process of performing only a limited title search is what is <br /> known as "tacking". If we tack to an existing title insurance policy, the County will be relying on its <br /> policy of title insurance and not our having actually examined the public records for any matter <br /> affecting title prior to the date of the existing policy of title insurance to which we tacked. Therefore, <br /> absent your timely objection, we will determine if title insurance coverage exists on the Property and, <br /> if so, have the public records examined only from the date of that coverage to the pcceonL In other <br /> words absent your timely objection, we will ''tock" to that existing policy of title insurance. This <br /> procedure will enable us to keep your costs to a minimum while, at the same time, providing full title <br /> 1 <br /> 4011 university ti;lye, suite 3V0, 00hang, in 27707 • post office box J/579, ^urham' xr277/7-/579 <br /> TcLEP HONE y/Y4Y0650o FAX 9/94900977 ° ?blow 6m,nvncomscoin <br />
