Importance of

Title Research to Large Loss Claims

The process of handling a large loss claim may be multifaceted in nature at an insurance company. Among the key steps, the verification that the insured has an insurable interest in the property is paramount. This is to avoid paying out to some party that may not have a legal right to such a claim. This is where the title research comes into its own.

  • Establishing Ownership: This is perhaps one of the most critical areas of title research and involves establishing who has legal title to the subject property. In the event of a substantial loss, the insurance company must be assured that the party making a claim does, in fact, have legal title or some interest in the property.
  • Identifying Mortgagees: These are usually banks or other financial institutions that may have a legal interest in the property, especially if the property has outstanding mortgage credit. Title research identifies any mortgagees for inclusion in claim settlements, if necessary.
  • Liens and Encumbrances: Large loss claims may also involve liens and encumbrances, including tax liens or judgments. If there are any encumbrances and they are not taken into account, it may result in financial disputes or other legal problems.

Supporting Insurance Adjusters with Customized Solutions

At AFX, we understand that insurance adjusters operate in a high-pressured environment where claims must be settled as quickly as possible, while ensuring accuracy and adherence to regulations. For this reason, we have tailored our title research services to meet the specific needs of the insurance industry.

  • Dedicated Customer Support
    With our insurance clients, each is assigned an individual CRM. It is for any question or to expedite urgent requests and review the completed reports with the adjusters. Having one point of contact guarantees that everything goes smoothly in relation to the claims process, and if there are any issues, these are resolved as soon as possible.

  • Large Loss Claims Customized Reporting
    We know that no two large loss claims are alike, with some claims requiring more or less information than others. AFX offers customized reporting options in which adjusters are able to specify what information will be most pertinent to the claim. Whether it is a more thorough examination of a property's chain of title or an even more comprehensive lien search, AFX is in a position to mold its research to the specific needs of each claim.

  • Secure Delivery and Data Management
    AFX provides secure delivery of title reports by attaching PDFs directly to email.

The Role of Title Research in Claims Resolution

Researching the title is not simply a formality, but an integral part of the process of claims settlement. Bad title information means an insurer could be making costly mistakes: paying the wrong party or failing to take account of the interests of mortgagees or lienholders.

  • Minimising Risk
    Title research allows insurance companies to reduce risks by ensuring the claim payments go to the correct parties. Likewise, ownership verification and the identification of mortgagees and lienholders allow the insurers to prevent disputes; hence, regulatory requirements are maintained.

  • Speedier Claims Settlement
    With AFX's fast, accurate title research, insurance adjusters can settle claims sooner. By supplying our insurance customers with title reports within less than three days, we help them move quickly through the claims process. The result: sooner settlements for their clients.

  • Reduce legal disputes
    In such a case, lack of prudent title research leads to legal disputes that are time-consuming and involve higher costs on the side of the insurer. By highlighting any legal issues that might be attached to the property, such as liens, easements, or zoning violations, AFX saves insurance companies from very expensive errors.
