According to “Title Escrow Theft and Title Insurance Fraud,” written by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and adopted by the Property and Casualty Insurance Committee in December 2013, escrow and title insurance thefts harm consumers in a number of ways. The most obvious example of loss to consumers is instances where customer funds are outright stolen without recourse from responsible parties such as title underwriters.

In some instances, closing services and title are transacted by separate entities, thereby reducing the likelihood that any specific title underwriter will be responsible for stepping in and reimbursing for loss of escrow funds. Escrow funds subject to loss include pre-closing funds such as down payments and post-closing funds intended for recordation of documents, cost of title insurance premiums, and disbursements necessary to clear the title. Theft of title premium frequently means no title policy is issued, and the consumer does not get what he or she paid for, namely evidence of coverage. Since many customers do not know exactly what to expect after closing, they may not be alarmed at not receiving a title policy.

Failure by the title agency to pay off certain escrowed funds may not surface for years or until the property is resold.
