Chain Of Title
At some point in the life of your film or television project – usually when it comes time for delivery of the project and also when you are sorting out your errors and omissions insurance (E&O) but also as a vital component in seeking finance/investment in your project – you may be asked by your financiers, sales agent, distributors and/or insurers for a chain of title opinion and/or a chain of title affidavit.
