DELETION OF ARBITRATION PRO VISION
(Not applicable to the Texas Residential Owner's Policy)
Arbitration is a common form of alternative dispute resolution. It can be a quicker and cheaper means to
settle a dispute with your Title Insurance Company. However, if you agree to arbitrate, you give up your right
to take the Title Company to court and your rights to discovery of evidence may be limited in the arbitration
process. In addition, you cannot usually appeal an arbitrator's award.
Your policy contains an arbitration provision (shown below). It allows you or the Company to require
arbitration if the amount of insurance is $2,000,000 or less. If you want to retain your right to sue the
Company in case of a dispute over a claim, you must request deletion of the arbitration provision before
the policy is issued. You can do this by signing this form and returning it to the Company at or before
the closing of your real estate transaction or by writing to the ComiIany.
The arbitration provision in the Policy is as follows:
"Either the Company or the Insured may demand that the claim or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration
pursuant to the Title Insurance Arbitration Rules of the American Land Title Association ("Rules"). Except as
provided in the Rules, there shall be no joinder or consolidation with claims or controversies of other persons.
Arbitrable matters may include, but are not limited to, any controversy or claim between the Company and the
Insured arising out of or relating to this policy, any service in connection with its issuance or the breach of a
