Title Insurance Agents Take Preventive Measures to Protect Property Rights, Reduce Claims |
|
The following press release was issued by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and is reproduced with their permission. For details and contact information, visit the original press release.
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Title insurance companies have protected the American dream of homeownership for more than a century by providing behind-the-scenes work that strives to eliminate claims and assures homeowners that their investment in a property is protected.
“Unlike insurance agents that sell other forms of insurance, title insurance agents spend the majority of their time and resources preventing claims and protecting homeowners’ property rights,” said Kurt Pfotenhauer, chief executive officer of the American Land Title Association. “A recent request by the New Mexico attorney general to decrease title insurance rates in the state highlights a lack of understanding of the title insurance industry and the preventive measures title agents take to eliminate claims and protect consumers.”
