Item 2.03.
Creation
                  of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance
                  Sheet Arrangement of a
                  Registrant.
On
        October 10, 2007, LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") received net
        proceeds of $100 million under the Company's existing $200 million revolving
        credit agreement with SunTrust Bank (the "Credit Agreement"), as administrative
        agent for a syndicate of other banks, issuing bank and swingline
        lender.  All of the proceeds received were used to prepay the Notes as
        described in Item 8.01 below.  The Credit Agreement was filed with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2006 as Exhibit 10.1 to the
        Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30,
        2006.
Item 8.01.
Other
                  Events.
On
        October 10, 2007, the Company prepaid, in full, all of its outstanding 7.45%
        Senior Notes, Series B, Due 2008 (the "Series B Notes"), and all of its
        outstanding 7.88% Senior Notes, Series C, Due 2011 (the "Series C Notes," and
        collectively with the Series B Notes, the "Notes"), issued pursuant to that
        certain Note Purchase Agreement dated August 31, 2001 (the "Note Agreement"), by
        and among the Company and each of the purchasers of the Notes.  As of
        October 10, 2007, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes was $100
        million.  The Notes were prepaid at the Company's option in accordance
        with the terms of the Note Agreement at a price of $107.6 million, representing
        the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest
        and
        a "make-whole" amount applicable to the Notes.  The Company
        anticipates a charge of $6.7 million in fourth quarter 2007 as a result of
        the
        make-whole payment.  The prepayment of the Notes was funded from the
        $100 million draw under the Credit Agreement as described in Item 2.03 above
        and
        available cash.  As a result of the prepayment of the Notes, the Notes
        will be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and will not be
        reissued.  The Company exercised its option to prepay the Notes to
        enhance its financial flexibility.
