ALTA Best Practice Certification Awarded to Ironclad Title “Ironclad Title is the FIRST, and is currently the ONLY, title company in the State of Louisiana to obtain ALTA Best Practice Certification from an independent, thirdparty. On July 8, 2015, the ALTA Elite Provider CPA firm of Pershing, Yoakley & Associates, P.C. certified Ironclad Title as fully in compliance with the American Land Title Association (“ALTA”)’s Best Practices.

In response to changing Industry standards, ALTA developed “Best Practices” to provide a proven method for lenders to ensure the companies with whom they work understand the changes, and serve to protect the integrity of the transaction as well as the customer’s privacy.

“It is a tremendous honor and achievement for our locally-owned and operated office to bring the National standard in this Industry back to our hometown” said Jack Robichaux, NTP™, managing partner of Ironclad Title. “We are thrilled to provide all of our customers with a peace of mind in knowing that our policies and procedures adhere to standards that are in line with the goals of the John F. Robichaux, NTP™ Attorney

August 2015

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) in protecting consumers,” Robichaux added.

Many national and local lenders have indicated that only those companies who have obtained third-party certification will be able to handle residential real estate closings on their behalf. These same lenders have also changed their policies and procedures to better fit within the CFPB’s guidelines under the Integrated Disclosure rule. “It was extremely important to our company to be proactive in proving our compliance to the lender and the home buyer.

We want everyone to know that Ironclad Title is committed to serving our community, and we are ready for the changes when they take place,” said Robichaux.

Given the complexity of the rule and the Best Practice standards, there are less than 20 title companies in the United States who have achieved some level of third-party certification.

To learn more about Ironclad Title, the Integrated Disclosure Rule, or ALTA’s Best Practice standards, please visit www.ironcladtitle.com, or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Ironclad Title – You Deserve A Good Deed.”
