In CT a non-attorney can "search" a title and can "abstract" a title.  We cannot "examine" title; i.e., offer an "opinon of title."

Hence:  The non-attorney abstractor performs the title search, provides a report of all findings (the abstract) and the CT Attorney  "EXAMINES"  the title searcher's work product and provides the opinion as to which encumbrances remain and which encumbrances are to be cleared/released in order to issue a title insurance policy.  Anyone can abstract, only an attorney can "examine" the abstract and give a "legal opinion" as to what that abstract means.

Reading the above, it sounds like WV wants to make it clear only a "licensed lawyer" can "examine" title.  Someone in India could still do that scary an on-line title search, but a California lawyer could not sign off on it and issue a West Virginia title insurance policy. Like Connecticut, only a West Virginia licensed lawyer could "sign off" on a title insurance policy issued on West Virginia real property.
