Title Policy Issuance after Judgment is Final
When the judgment in the eminent domain proceedings is final and no longer subject to appeal, and the total obligation of the State to the property owners has been paid, a certified copy of such final judgment will be obtained for recording in the deed records of every county in which the property lies. Upon recording of this final judgment, the title company will issue title insurance on the parcel. The amount insured by the policy will not include any interest paid on the judgments (i.e., the amount insured in the title policy on each submission must agree exactly with the base amount of the judgment excluding interest). After the proper entries are made on the project ROW map, if any, the recorded certified copy of the final judgment will be forwarded to the ROW Program Office along with the Owner Title Policy as part of the normal submission requirements under
