Unauthorized Practice of Law in Connecticut
From WFG Wiki
Contents
Overview
Since 1984, Connecticut law has required that any new title agent be required to be a "commissioner of the superior court in good standing" which restricts new title agents to licensed Connecticut attorneys. As a result, even though most aspects of title insurance are not considered to be the unauthorized practice of law for any non-attorney agents who were licensed prior to the change in the law, most aspects of title insurance are now treated as requiring the involvement of an attorney. The only exception is for those agents licensed prior to 1984, which is limited now to a handful of corporate agents.
