Title Insurance

Depending on the license, sales or adjusting, you may be able to take a designation course that will excuse you from the state licensing test. The adjuster licenses, 5-20 Independent, and 6-20 Company, as well as the 4-40 Customer Service Representative sales licenses are all available by designation. All other licenses require the state licensing exam.

The first step is to review your state requirements based on the type of insurance you want to sell. There is essentially only life and health and property and casualty line of insurance. All designations come under these two classifications. Create a profile at http:/www.fldfs.com/Agents. Study the coursework at home using text material or, preferably, online courses because they are engaging, enhance recalling abilities, cheap and of exceptional quality. They also offer a lot of practice material and real life examples. But make sure that the course is approved by the state department of insurance. You will find the approval code in the course description of clearly given on the provider websites. You will have to take the exam with the insurance department, though.

Insurance is important because it is designed to pay various types of claims depending on the type of policy that applies. Important types of insurance typically include policies that are purchased for an automobile, a home and those provided by an employer, such as a group health insurance policy.

• It relieves those insuring from the worry and anxiety they may have about how they would meet the cost of risk. In the case of businesses, this is a positive stimulus to their activities and allows them to get on with their own business in the knowledge that they are financially protected against many forms of risk.
• Business people will be more inclined to risk their money by building factories, making goods, sailing ships, flying planes, with the knowledge that they will not lose everything should they fall victim of some risk. This is an extremely important benefit which insurance brings - not only to the individual insuring but to the whole country - as stimulating businesses makes for a healthy economy.
• Insurance also can help in actually reducing losses. Insurance companies have a great deal of experience in risks of all kinds and, over many years, they have found ways in which certain risks can be reduced. They employ surveyors who go out and look at premises which people may want to insure. They can, from that experience, often suggest ways in which the likelihood of some risk occurring may be reduced. They might see some hazard which could injure employees, or a host of other problems. The advice and the recommendations they make on behalf of insurance companies cannot help but reduce the likelihood of many of the risks occurring.
• One further benefit derived from the transaction of insurance is the use to which the insurance company puts the money it holds in the common pool. It does not use immediately all the money it collects as premiums. It holds it until one of the members of the pool suffers a loss. The money it holds is invested in a wide range of investments which all go towards aiding government, industry, commerce and consequently the whole country. A visible symbol of one of the uses to which insurance funds are directed is the building work being carried out in many of our cities. Look a little closer at the large signs surrounding these building sites and notice how many are being funded by insurance companies.

Typically an Owners Title Insurance Policy does not cover matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey, such as land shortage issues. This is referred to as one of the standard or general exceptions in a title policy. In some instances you can negotiate this coverage which is called extended coverage if you are willing to sign an extended coverage affidavit.

Title Geek Answer In most state the title agency representive can be one of two positions: 1. Person hired by a title agency to represent their agency to solicit and sell title insurance products and services to attorneys, realtors, lenders, and the general public. In many states the title sales person or title rep must be a licensed title insurance producer. 2. Person working with the title underwriting company who represents that Underwriter to title agencies. The "Title Rep" would be the person going out to sign title agencies for the Underwriter (solicit new businesses to join that Underwriting company) and usually is the "go to" person for the agency should they need assistance in basic operational procedures and guidelines set by the Underwriter.

This is a state specific question, since in some states, the escrow company is a separate entity from the title agency. Therefore, I will answer the question assuming that the title agency is also acting as the closing/escrow agent. If the title agency has been hired to provide a Report on Title (Property Report) only, they will search the abstract (history) of the property of the present owner only. The Report will be issued, but no title insurance coverage will be provided. This is typical in smaller HELOCs where the lender does not require insurance, but does need to know condition of title. If the title agency has been hired to provide Lender's title insurance coverage, they will do the current owner search(es), provide a Commitment/Binder to insure. There will be certain requirements that must be met (paying off current loan, taxes must be paid current, etc.). Either the title agency, loan officer or the borrower may be responsible for obtaining the actual payoff statements from the appropriate parties. Once all conditions are met and the lender is ready to close and the title agency is the settlement/escrow agent, the lender will send the loan documents to the title agency along with their closing instructions. The title agency will prepare the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and send it back to the lender for review. Once the lender has approved the final HUD-1 Settlement Statement, the closing will take place. The title agency will witness the signing of the loan documents with the borrower and will also require certain title documents also be signed. They will collect copies of the borrowers' IDs along with any other items required by the lender (Marriage Certificate, proof of homeowner's insurance, etc.) The loan documents are sent back to the lender and the borrower has a 3-day recission period to decide if they want to go through with the loan. (This applies only if the property being refinanced is the primary residence. Investments and second homes are funded the same day, although the lender may not release the funds until the loan docs are back in their office.) Once the recission period has passed, funds will be sent to the title agency. They will disburse the funds according to the HUD-1 Settlement Statement, paying off the current mortgage, taxes, credit cards, etc (whatever was listed to be paid at time of closing). If a figure changes from the time of closing to time of disbursement, the borrower is still responsible for full payment of whatever is owed and that adjustment will be made by the title agency. (They will contact you on any issues at funding) The title agency is usually responsible for recording all documents such as mortgages, deeds, subordinations, etc. They will record the same at the county or municipal level. Once the recorded documents are properly indexed with the Recorder's Office, the title agency will order a cover record, which is a final search that shows the prior mortgage discharged and the new mortgage recorded. At that point, they will update the file and issue a Mortgage/Lender's Policy to the lender.

All title insurance underwriters will consider a new title agency as their representative. You must fill out their application, and once they have reviewed the application, they will either offer or deny your application. The Underwriters consider the following factors when making their decision: * Owner's Experience in the title industry - including real estate, lending and legal (attorney) * Owners'/Principals' financial and credit history (since you will be handling other peoples' money to the tune of multi-millions) * Senior Title Officer - Title Examiner's experience * Ability to gain clients and produce business * Criminal record and personal background * Experience of the staff you have in place including your searchers * Business background * Accounting experience * Title Software / Production System * E & O coverage * Plus other factors that are underwriter specific

If there was a Title company involved the Title Company would have collected and made the payoff, if they did not the Insurance Company would be on the hook to pay. If you sold the home to an Investor, without a Settlement Agent ( Title Co.) you are out of luck and most likely would have to make a settlement with the Bank for the mortgage.

The cost of title insurance in Connecticut is based on a few different factors. One is the sales price of the home, another is the location of the home, and the third is the amount of the loan. After than, the Connecticut conveyance tax and municipal or city transfer tax are figured in to get the final cost of the title insurance.

If you are an agent of an underwriter issuing title insurance policies, you keep 70% of the policy premium and any endorsements that are issued. The underwriter receives the other 30%. At least that's how it works in Florida. The percentage can vary from state to state. I believe South Carolina is 80/20. Your customers generally don't know this since the split is not disclosed on the HUD.

It begins at the time and date of recording of the vesting instrument, which is generally either the deed (for an owner's policy), or the mortgage (for a lender's policy).
