Lawyers Title is urging your clients to CALL BEFORE YOU WIRE, and never rely on email communication. Always follow these two simple steps:
STEP 1:
Obtain the phone number of your Real Estate Broker, Realtor® and your Lawyers Title escrow officer as soon as an escrow is opened.
STEP 2:
Call the phone number you wrote down from STEP 1, to speak directly with your Lawyers Title escrow officer to confirm wire instructions PRIOR to wiring. If you receive alternative wiring instructions supposedly from Lawyers Title, be suspicious as we rarely change our wiring instructions.
