Each State is different. In Maryland we are governed by the Maryland Insurance Administration. We also have to abide by RESPA rules and regulations, and the guidelines set forth by our Title insurance underwriters.

That does not mean that each state has licensing requirements in order to effect title, but simply that the title insurance process of issuing insurance policies for title is regulated by the state. Some state require title agencies and producers to be licensed and pass examinations, others do not.

Can an illegal immigrant obtain a reverse mortgage?
i am a mortgage broker, i do not believe an illegal alien can obtain a mortgage at all. That is one of the questions on the "respa" documents in all mortgage applications. You are not a good risk for a bank; at any time you can be deported. * For the person to obtain a reverse mortage they would need to be a homeowner with equity. Therefore, it would seem logical that they should speak with their current mortgage lender.
