Nancy B. Ramsey v. Baxter Title Company

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Ramsey's complaint against the title company and closing attorney. The alleged facts did not establish the actual trust, confidence, and disparity of influence required for a fiduciary relationship, and the attorney owed no independent duty to advise Ramsey that the lender's loan terms favored the lender where that advice could conflict with the attorney's duties to the lender.
