The Utah Association of Title Professionals is a non-profit organization whose members consist of licensed Utah title insurance professionals. We are experts in the real estate settlement process and are committed to maintaining the highest professional standards in this industry, including the protection of the impartial role of the settlement agent, and the protection of the public consumer of real estate settlement services in Utah.

Title Insurance Agencies in Utah play a vital role in the real estate settlement process. Title Insurance Agencies issue policies of title insurance to real estate buyers and real estate lenders. Title Insurance Agencies also serve the crucial role of escrow agent/settlement agent in almost all real estate transactions. As settlement agents they receive and hold funds and documents in trust (in escrow) and exchange these funds and documents among the parties to the transaction when all closing conditions are completed. In this role they are a fiduciary to all parties to the transaction, and act as a trusted neutral third party. This is a role that should never be compromised or dismissed as unimportant or unnecessary. In keeping with our commitment to high professional and principled standards, WE ARE OPPOSED TO SENTATE BILL 121 as introduced in Utah’s 2019 legislative session.
