Entity Transfer Request – IN A PINCH Document Preparation Services

Legal Entity / Asset Protection Trust Transfer Request

Due to the FinCEN Residential Real Estate Reporting requirements (effective March 1, 2026), IN A PINCH Document Preparation Services (IAP) will no longer transfer any real property into an entity without obtaining a Title Endorsement to the existing policy of title insurance AND/OR procuring a new Title Insurance Policy to ensure all reporting requirements are met, if applicable. The following information is requested to first determine if IAP is able to assist with a transfer(s) to a Limited Liability Company /
Corporation / Partnership Agreement / Asset Protection Trust or other entity.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR AN ENTITY TRANSFER

Step #1: An order will be placed with an IN A PINCH representative for Title Endorsement Coordination. A fee of $400.00 will be due at this time. If the endorsement request is approved, we will move on to Step #2. If the insuring Title Company cannot/will not endorse the existing policy of title insurance, a refund will be made for 50% of the fee paid ($200.00).

Step #2: An order will be placed with an IN A PINCH representative for the documents needed for the transfer. Fees for same are posted on our website (Fee Page). There will also be a fee to the insuring title company for the Endorsement fee which will range from $100.00 to $200.00.

Step #3: You will be contacted by the insuring Title Company’s representative to complete the FinCEN Process. The fee for this service can run anywhere from $199.00 to $400.00 depending on the insuring Title Company. Note: If the insuring Title Company does not handle the FinCEN reporting, then IN A PINCH shall handle this through a third-party reporting company (FRS). The fee ranges from $199 to $275 depending on whether you wish to pay for a rush service (5 business days) and/or cannot complete the process electronically. IN A PINCH will not charge any additional fees other than what is shown on our Contract at time of placing the order.

EXAMPLE: A typical one document transaction will run approximately $1,150 with all fees, including recording fees to appropriate County. This breakdown is on our website however, we will be happy to review same on a case-by-case basis. THE ENTIRE PROCESS may take up to 2-3 weeks.

If you believe your entity is wholly owned (100% owned by the same exact party(ies) continuing to hold the exact same proportionate interest) by the party(ies) who is/are currently holding title, please complete the form below:

I understand when it has been determined that title insurance coverage is still in place, IN A PINCH will charge an initial Title Endorsement Coordination Fee of $400. This fee is to collect and provide information to the insuring title company to determine if the entity is in fact wholly owned and the Policy is endorseable. This fee also covers the actual Coordination of the Endorsement at the time of recording. In the event, a determination is made by the insuring Title Company that title coverage has been terminated and/or the existing policy is NOT endorseable, the Title Endorsement Coordination fee of $200 shall be forfeited.
