We Answered:

When you get a title policy or a loan policy, underwriter reviews the title work for insurability and risk issues.

Stewart Title Insurance?

We Answered:

Mark,

You need to provide more details. There is no way that a title company can deny their responsibility for money entrusted to them in an escrow account. They have what is called a fiduciary duty to protect the funds they have in their care.

Call your State insurance department to get more information.

Stewart Title Insurance?

We Answered:

I think that you should get you a lawyer. If your money is escrow then it is like paying whatever it is you are paying just not to the person or company. I think that they are liable for your money, if you have some kind of receipts to show that this is really what you did with the money.

Calculating Price/Book Value in the title insurance industry?

We Answered:

I'm not sure what your question is.

Are you disappointed that the ratio isn't a constant? Why should it be. The book value is not terribly meaningful in the first place. Second, the price is related to what people are willing to pay and people are looking for earnings, not the breakup value of the assets.
