Keynote Address

Bitcoin, Blockchain, and 2050 - Kevin T. Pogoda, Esq., VCTE, VCTSA

What is Blockchain, and why does it matter to the land title industry? While the blockchain can do little to influence local
legislators’ sales restrictions, it will have a great impact on the financial verification element of the sales process itself. By using a
blockchain distributed database to prove authenticity, homeowners could legitimately transfer ownership immediately without the
need to pay for third-party verification.

Join Kevin Pogoda for a riveting session on the future of the land title industry. Kevin is a Past President of the Virginia Land Title
Association, and First Vice President and Virginia State Manager (Northern Div) for Old Republic National Title Insurance Company.

1031 Tax Exchanges - Katherine Pantelakis, Esq.

Also known as a tax-deferred exchange, the 1031 tax exchange allows the taxpayer to qualify for deferred gain treatment under
certain circumstances. Learn tips and tricks for handling the 1031 exchange as a real estate settlement agent.

Kassie is the Senior Vice President and National Sales Manager for Old Republic Exchange Company (ORE) and has held that role for
the past 11 years. Earlier Kassie is a graduate of The Ohio Northern School of Law, and received her undergraduate degree from
Baldwin-Wallace College.

Contract, the lender’s instructions and RESPA, the rules and regulations established by the Department of Housing and Urban Deve
lopment (HUD) that govern the settlement process, as well as any State and local laws. This session will review potential pitfalls,

A Title Examiner's Guide to Bankruptcy, Liens, and Judgments - C. Jay Robbins

When a property owner files for bankruptcy protection, he can no longer deal with the property as he pleases, and his creditors are
stayed from suing him or enforcing liens against his property. Students who take this course will learn how to determine whether a
party to a transaction is in bankruptcy and, if so, what requirements the party must satisfy to sell or mortgage his
property. Students will also learn how to determine if a bankruptcy affects liens or encumbrances on property and what
bankruptcy risks are covered by a title insurance policy.

C. Jay Robbins is an attorney in Chesapeake, Virginia, a Virginia Certified Title Examiner, and an active member of the Virginia Land
Title Association.
