Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title insurance is unique among insurance products because it provides coverage for unknown past acts. Other insurance products provide coverage for future events. Title insurance also requires just a single premium payment whereas other insurance products generally have premiums that are paid at regular intervals to keep the insurance in effect. Premiums for title insurance in New York State are jointly filed with the Department by the Title Insurance Rate Service Association (TIRSA) on behalf of the dominant title insurers. This joint filing ensures that title insurers do not compete on price. In states where such a procedure is not followed, title insurance rates are generally much lower.Instead of competing on price, insurers compete on service. “Service” has been interpreted widely to include all sorts of gifts -- fancy meals, hard-to-get tickets, even vacations. The real customers of title companies are the industry's repeat players -- often real estate lawyers and lenders who recommend the title company -- and they get these goodies. The people paying for title insurance -- owners and borrowers -- ultimately pay for these “marketing” costs without getting the benefit of them. These expenses are a component of the filings that TIRSA submits to the New York State Department of Financial Service to justify the premiums charged by TIRSA's members. As a result of this rate-setting method, New York State policyholders pay among the highest premiums in the country. Instead of continuing on its current course, the Department should seek to create a regulatory regime that best balances increased price competition with adequate safety and soundness regulation.

Download or read book The American Title Insurance Industry written by Joseph W Eaton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, banks and other mortgage lenders began requiring insurance to protect them against flawed or defective real estate titles. Over the past sixty years, the title insurance industry has grown steadily in size, power, and secrecy: policies are available for both lenders and property owners and many title insurers offer an array of other real estate services, such as escrow and appraisal. Yet details about the industry’s operational procedures remain closely guarded from public exposure. In The American Title Insurance Industry, Joseph and David Eaton present evidence that improvements in recordkeeping over the last sixty years—particularly the advent of computers—have reduced the likelihood of a defective title going unnoticed in a property transaction. But the industry’s flaws run deeper than mere obsolescence: in most states, title insurers are allowed to engage in anticompetitive business practices, including price-fixing. Among the findings in this meticulously researched study are instances of insurers charging premiums well above the amount necessary to compensate them for assuming the risk of defect and identical policies with identical risk that vary in price by hundreds of percentage points for different geographic locations. The authors also examine the widely ignored role that the federal and most state governments play in perpetuating the title insurance industry’s unfair practices. Whereas most private industries prefer as little government intervention as possible, title insurers welcome it. Federal statue exempts title insurers from anti-trust liability, opening the door for price-fixing and destroying any semblance of free-market competition or market power for consumers. A landmark study for elected officials, and all those involved in the insurance, real estate, and brokerage industries, The American Title Insurance Industry brings to light a long-neglected problem—and offers suggestions for how it might be remedied.
