Underwriter Information
Because an owner's or mortgagee's title policy is only as reliable as the
underwriter's claims paying ability, it is important to work with a reputable
title insurance agent backed by sound underwriting principles. Land Title
Guarantee Company has the unique ability to issue title insurance policies
through four highly rated underwriters:
- Chicago Title Insurance Company, with over 150 years
in the business and the highest financial rating (A) given by Demotech,
has been the primary underwriter for Land Title's commercial transactions
since 1996. Chicago Title is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity
National (NYSE: FNF); Fidelity is the largest title insurer in the world
in terms of revenues, profits, market share, assets, and claims paying
reserves.
- Land Title is also an agent for Old Republic National Title
Insurance Company. Old Republic (formerly known as Minnesota
Title) has been underwriting policies for Land Title since 1967. Old
Republic was the first underwriter to receive an A+ rating for claims
paying ability by Standard and Poor's.
- Land Title also has the ability to write title insurance policies with
Talon Title Insurance as an underwrtier. Talon is a
member of The First American Corporation (NYSE: FAF) family of
companies.
- Land Title has also formed its own underwriting company, Land
Title Insurance Corporation which enjoys the highest rating (A)
from Demotech for its financial stability. The majority of Land Title's
metro Denver lender and residential title insurance policies are
underwritten by LTIC.
