Choice of Title Insurer

Per the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) of 1974 (Public Law 93-533), a seller cannot require you to purchase title insurance from any particular company. This survey should be used as you shop for both types of title insurance and be sure that any company you select meets your standards and those of your lender.

Please visit the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for additional information on RESPA and title insurance.
