However, check the coverage amount on that policy – the land may have increased significantly in value since it was obtained. If so, you might want to get a new policy anyway, with increased coverage. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Deborah Berg </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'> WSBA RPPT Real Property Discussion Forum [<a href="mailto:wsbarp@LISTSERV.NETHELPS.COM">mailto:wsbarp@LISTSERV.NETHELPS.COM</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Pat Aylward<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, August 15, 2013 9:27 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:wsbarp@LISTSERV.NETHELPS.COM">wsbarp@LISTSERV.NETHELPS.COM</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [WSBARP] Transfer to LLC </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Although using a QCD is the common practice in that fact pattern, I do not believe it is the best practice. Assuming client had title insurance when client bought, you can use that coverage if you use a Warranty Deed. If a title issue pops up, LLC makes claim against grantor on the warranty deed and the grantor (the original individual owner) tenders the claim to the insurance carrier. Coverage does not end with transfer of the property. If you use a QCD rather than a warranty deed and don’t get a new title policy, LLC is running bare. For that reason, unless there is some other very good reason not to, I use a warranty deed. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'><img border=0 width=443 height=81 style='width:4.6166in;height:.8416in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D3AAFE.CF2B4190" alt="Description: http://www.jdsalaw.com/storage/signatures/image001.jpg"></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:#1F497D'>J.
