Current Areas of Action
The North Carolina State Bar has proposed 2026 Formal Ethics Opinion 1, which would unfairly prohibit closing attorneys from issuing title insurance in connection with their closings. North Carolina consumers should have the choice to purchase title insurance from their lawyer, the person best qualified to ensure client protection.
This anti-competitive suggested rule, lobbied for by the insurance industry, directly impacts all attorneys in North Carolina, as it is a stark departure from existing policies allowing lawyers to sell insurance and other products to their clients with disclosure and consent. 2010 FEO 13 and 2014 FEO 10.
We encourage you to send comments regarding the unlawful proposed rule to the North Carolina State Bar at comments@ncbar.gov.
