REBA Launches New Affinity Partnership with Massachusetts Attorneys Title Group

REBA President Paul Alphen today announced an affinity partnership with Massachusetts Attorneys Title Group (“MassATG”) to support the Association’s efforts to combat the unauthorized practice of law (UPL). The announcement was received with appreciation by the REBA Board of Directors at a meeting last week.

“This partnership with MassATG is based on a simple premise,” REBA President Paul Alphen said. “MassATG has made a strong commitment to support REBA’s UPL efforts by pledging $40,000 to REBA’s UPL efforts this year and a substantially greater amount in 2009 and 2010.

“This very exciting affinity program is non-exclusive and is designed not to disturb or disrupt any relationships of REBA members with other title insurance underwriters doing business in Massachusetts,” added REBA President Paul Alphen. “In fact we look forward to their continued participation and continued support.”

“Whenever you write a MassATG policy you will help MassATG support REBA’s work opposing the unauthorized practice of law in Massachusetts,” said Tom Bussone, President of Massachusetts Attorneys Title Group.
