American Land Title Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Land Title Association or ALTA, is a national trade association representing the interests of the abstract of title and title insurance industries. In addition to active members engaged in the title industry, associate members cover a wide range of businesses and occupations relating to real estate law, sales, development, design, construction, and financing.
The organization's best known function is the promulgation of standardized forms for the terms and conditions of title insurance policies: these forms are adopted by all major title insurers except where state law requires the issuance of different terms, although most of the state-regulated forms are similar or identical to the ALTA forms.
ALTA and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, or ACSM, have jointly developed a set of land surveying standards, with the goal of promoting uniformity in survey information.
ALTA's headquarters are located at 1828 L Street, NW Suite 705, Washington, D.C. 20036.
