Q.) Should I be concerned about the claims paying ability of my title insurance provider?

A.) A Title insurance provider’s claims paying ability is determined by the amount of reserves held to pay claims. Due to the state of the real estate market over the last 4 years, a title insurer’s claims paying ability has become more critical as the number of claims filed have sharply increased. Ticor Title and FNF have claim reserves exceeding $1.5 Billion.
