Standard
A lawyer may certify title in fee simple where the root of title commences with the required expropriation documents evidencing that a fee simple interest was expropriated.
When a lawyer identifies expropriation documents affecting a parcel, the lawyer must examine these documents and determine the nature of the interest expropriated and include the documents in the lawyer’s abstract of title.1
