How do you start a title company in Utah?

The process requires that you be bonded and to be bonded you need to demonstrate the experience to search through the county archives for title problems. Anyone in Utah who would use your service to perform a title search would demand title insurance, and title insurance companies will not work with you if you don't have the experience. That means you'll need to work for a title insurance company long enough to get the experience to get the bond.

If Property has a lien that was not found by title insurance company what are the owners options?

Where do you find a title agency license package?

If you are looking to start up a title agency in a particular state, you need to check with that state's registration process. Most states requiring licensing are regulated by their department of insurance and their forms are found online as well as the instructions for submitting your licensing info. (DOI). There isn't a general "template" for licensing that can be used from state to state as some states do not require licensing as a title producer (license), you simply obtain your agency agreement with the Title Underwriter.

How far back does a title search go?

A typical "title search" or abstract goes back anywhere from 20 to 60 years depending on the laws and practices in the particular jurisdiction and the complexity involved in a particular matter. A prudent title searcher would certainly go back as far as possible if there is some sort of ambiguity or question.

Most jurisdictions regulate the period that must be covered by a title examination that will be used to certify the title to property. A title examination in the southeast generally goes back 30 years. In Massachusetts the statutory period is 50 years, in Connecticut it is 40 years. Those periods are also stated in title standards promulgated by the real estate bar associations in most jurisdictions. If there is no deed at 30, 40 or 50 years back then the examiner must keep chaining back until an arm's length conveyance is found. A professional title examiner knows how to determine a good starting point then examines the title forward from that point.

The title examination is the key factor in determining whether you will own the land free and clear of all other claims.

Are there any schools in New York City that offer a course in title insurance?

New York is an unlicensed state. You are not required to have any type of title license, therefore, I don't know of any NY title insurance schools. You do have to take a NY Notary course and pass it in order to be a Notary Public. New York has very specific practices, so it is advisable to work directly with an experienced agency to get your "on the job" training. If you are already experienced with title insurance in another state, the basics of title insurance apply in NY. You can take online courses that are an intro to title insurance, but in reviewing most of them, they are general overviews of Title 101 and aren't going to be very useful in the every day, practical use of doing title insurance. You can always come over to NJ and take our title producer's course in order to learn rules of agency, basic title knowledge, etc. The producers's course is general and NJ specific. The best school I know of here is Kovat's Professional School of Real Estate. Kovat wrote the course book and teaches it. You can find the school info under www.bigyellow.com

I have a buyer for a home advertised on the multiple listing service. After entering escrow with the seller we find that there was a a third mortgage that the title company failed to record.?

The 3rd mortgage should be promptly recorded so that it can be properly discharged of record for closing. The 3rd mortgage should have no bearing on the sale, since the Seller was aware of all the mortgages they have against the property and should have set the price of the property high enough to pay off all 3 mortgages against the property. You just need to make sure that the mortgage is properly recorded and properly discharged of record at closing.
