New York State Land Title Association

The New York State Land Title Association welcomes everyone engaged in the business of insuring title to real property in the State of New York. Our members encompass both companies and sole practitioners. The Association is governed by an Executive Committee comprised of title insurance underwriters and title insurance agents in New York State.

Individual freedom and liberty is an American heritage, the foundation of which is the widely held ownership and use of land. The cornerstone of that ownership and use is the system through which titles to land reach their highest accuracy and are evidenced to the public. The land title profession provides the structure of confidence, integrity and protection in the processes relating to real estate transactions.

The title insurance profession is a vital and integral part of our country's economy. It facilitates real estate transactions; enhances the reliability and accuracy of the data in our land title record systems; acts as the conduit through which many governmental and other liens are paid; and affords consumers peace of mind that their interest in real property is protected.

An individual who has retired from active professional or business activity and who has made an extraordinary contribution to the title insurance industry in the State of New York may be considered for election to Honorary Life Membership by the Executive Committee.

At the 90th Anniversary Year Annual Meeting in 2011, the Executive Committee voted to henceforth designate this honor as the Sharon Sabol Award of Honorary Lifetime Membership, in recognition of the Association's longest-serving Executive Director, Sharon Sabol.
