Aircraft title · escrow · registry
We take a deliberately small number of closings at a time. Airtight FAA documentation, neutral third-party escrow, and International Registry filings — handled end to end by one named officer, from letter of intent to recorded title.
Our services
Whether you are an owner, buyer, seller, broker, insurer, or lender, Hunt & Co. handles the title, escrow, and registry work with the discretion and precision a private aircraft transaction deserves.
Airtight documentation for filing and recording aircraft titles with the FAA — drafted error-free on your behalf.
Maximum security through a proprietary aircraft escrow process that protects both sides from fraud or loss of funds.
The IR supersedes the FAA in establishing ownership and lien priority. We secure your interest and handle every detail.
The platform
Every Hunt & Co. transaction runs in a secure closing room. Buyers, sellers, brokers, lenders, and counsel see the same live status — no chasing, no guessing, no version confusion.
The Hunt difference
One named escrow officer owns your file from opening to recording — with a backup who knows it just as well. You always reach a person who already has the context.
Every party is identity-verified before funds move. We collect beneficial-ownership detail on entities and trusts, screen buyers, sellers, and lienholders against OFAC and denied-party lists, and document source of funds on the file.
Cape Town Convention filings, cross-border deregistration, and IDERAs handled in-house across 150+ contracting states — without handing you off to a third party.
Also handled in-house
Aircraft transactions rarely stop at title and escrow. The work below is handled by the same officer, on the same file, at no hand-off to a third party.
Bills of sale, security agreements, releases, and registration applications drafted, executed, and walked to the Civil Aviation Registry for recording.
We identify every encumbrance on the chain of title, coordinate payoff figures with lienholders, and confirm releases are recorded before funds move.
Owner trusts, LLC registrations, and non-citizen trust structures set up and filed so registration eligibility is settled well before the closing date.
Cross-border closings coordinated end to end — export certificates of airworthiness, deregistration requests, IDERAs, and same-day filing with the receiving authority.
Deposits, inspection holdbacks, and discrepancy reserves held in a segregated account and released only on written instruction from both sides.
Closing checklists, funding statements, and settlement figures prepared for financiers, brokers, insurers, and counsel so every party works from one set of numbers.
