[WSBARP] Title insurance and 3 year issue

[Doris Eslinger]

I spoke with Chicago, First American and Old Republic recently on the
subject and all will issue title insurance after 3 years for WA properties
and may also issue title insurance before three years for the right price,
and on a case by case basis.  First American cited RCW 4.16.090 for the
three-year window.  Old Republic agrees to issue title within 3 years on one
case but the premium is 10% of the insured amount.   One of the title
officers I spoke with mentioned that if we can locate the former property
owner to sign a deed, then they can issue the insurance.

I can tell you that Stewart will insure (on a case by case basis) after
three years, and before three years if the buyer obtains a certification
through Tax Title Services.

You can give me a call if you like for more specifics.

Subject: [WSBARP] Title insurance and 3 year issue

 

Good Afternoon:

Recently there was a discussion about having a tax deed and title companies
being unwilling to issue title insurance until 3 or 10 years has passed.
Due to a new computer, I lost my emails saved and would appreciate it if
someone could tell me if they know of a title company closing sales and
issuing title insurance after 3 years instead of 10 years or the filing of a
quiet title action.

Thank you.
