The Land Title Association of Colorado is a non-profit trade organization designed to promote and advance title insurance issues in Colorado. We were incorporated in 1963, but our organization history dates back to 1906, when a concerned group of title professionals joined together to ensure competency and thoroughness in Colorado title work. Their legacy lives on today in LTAC. Our members, businesses or individuals, come together to protect Colorado real estate transactions. Real estate buyers, sellers, financers and developers all benefit from the quality title work fostered by LTAC and its members.

Our organization provides education to its members, outreach to the consumer community, and insight to legislators and regulators about the title insurance industry. We are proud of our history, engaged in the present, and challenged by our future.

Some Recent Achievements of LTAC

Here are some of the tasks and successes of the Land Title Association of Colorado and its members:
  • Worked with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) to refine legislation to provide appropriate rules and enforcement regarding affiliated business arrangements. (House Bill  06-1141)
  • Filed an amicus brief in the Hicks v. Londre case that successfully protected the ability to apply the principle of equitable subrogation to prevent unintended results.
  • Worked with the Real Estate Commission and Forms Committee to achieve withdrawal of a new real estate contract provision (12a) that would have made our work product public information.
  • Represented our title industry in meetings and groups such as the Real Estate section of the Colorado Bar Association; the Interprofessional Committee; the Colorado Housing Council; the Title Advisory Council of the Division of Insurance; and the Real Estate forms committee.
  • Met with County Clerks and Recorders representing various counties to clarify their recording policies and procedures for our members throughout the state.
  • LTAC Lobbyist Cathy Wanstrath, along with members of the Association’s Legislative Committee, monitored and successfully lobbied for amendments on legislation being proposed at the state legislature that could positively or negatively affect our title industry and the protection we afford our consumers.
  • Attended ALTA national conferences and advocated for our industry with Colorado’s Congressional delegation in Washington D.C.
  • Hosted the annual Legislative Luncheon for LTAC members to meet and talk with members of the Colorado General Assembly.  Approximately 150  people attended this event.
  • Enhanced our education programs by adding additional classes on a broader range of title industry topics.
  • Hosted our Spring and Fall schools together with additional programs at the Legislative Luncheon to provide continuing education credits for the association’s C.T.I.S. designation to over 300 industry members.
  • Hosted the 85th Annual LTAC Convention in Vail, Colorado.  Over 110 title and closing professionals from both small and large companies, agencies and underwriters throughout the state participated. 

These are only a few of things LTAC has recently accomplished for our industry.

Other Noteworthy Achievements:

  • Initiated a bill which will establish clear standards for the timely recording and indexing of real property  documents by County Clerk and Recorders (Senate Bill 04-047).
  • Initiated and passed a bill to amend the name variance statute(s) to streamline the process of correcting errors on real property instruments (House Bill 03-1194).
    Successfully amended a bill with a change in the law (see CRS §38-35-124.5) that has already saved LTAC members many thousands of dollars that were previously lost due to inaccurate payoff statements (Senate Bill 02-161).
  • Worked with the Colorado Mortgage Lenders and the Division of Insurance to create a new good funds agreement.
  • Formed an Operational Task Force with the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association to encourage communication and promote more efficient processes between our two industries.
  • We are proud to be represented by the services of a professional management team and lobbyist to take the lead in implementing the direction of the LTAC members.
  • Implemented technologies that saved the association thousands of dollars by introducing an electronic system for distribution of newsletters and other member communications.
