I read this article. I didn't know what to say... I just shook my head. I think that to some degree, consumers do have some cause to be leery of title insurance. Prices have gone up, claims have gone up, and all the while standards have been declining in the industry. But, I think that many of the comparisons that the media makes are misleading.  Something probably needs to be done to revamp the industry to make it more transparent and consumer friendly, if for no other reason, to reassure consumers. But, I think it needs to start with regulations that strengthen the quality and value of the product - not necessarily with the premiums.

Best,
