Starting any Insurance Company requires mega paper work, title insurance is no different. Consult a good insurance attorney who is well-versed in your state's insurance laws. An insurance COMPANY (think Prudential, Axa, State Farm) is required to have SIGNIFICANT cash reserves and liquid assets and fall under state and federal guidelines. You need to decide if you will be a privately held or public company, and if public, then you will need deal with the issues of IPO. You will need to structure the company, identify your board of directors, obtain your business financing, hire your key staff, etc. Creating an insurance company will probably take several months to a year to get your licenses and compliances in place with the states you intend to do business in. Please note, an Insurance COMPANY is the actual entity that issuesinsurance. If you are thinking of a Title AGENCY, that is a completely different animal and, if you don't know the difference, you probably should not be in business as either.

In most cases the title company that closed your loan is the agent for the title insurance company, and can be contacted regarding insurance issued on your property.AnswerContact the Agency that issued the title insurance at time of closing. If an Owner's Policy was paid for, they should have issued you an actual insurance policy, complete with a Title Jacket and Policy Number. If you never received this and paid for one, request an original or a certified copy of it. The Policy will reference the title UNDERWRITING COMPANY that is insuring the Policy. ie: First American, Stewart, Chicago,etc. That is who the actual COMPANY. The agency only acts in behalf of the Underwriter and is not the actual insurer.
