SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Three of Fidelity National
Title Group's (FNTG's) underwriters are cutting their title insurance rates
in half for homeowners whose residences have been partially or completely
destroyed by the recent wildfires in California, the Company announced
today. Title insurance discounts are available from Chicago Title, Fidelity
National Title and Ticor Title.
"These devastating firestorms have marked one of the worst natural
disasters Californians have ever faced," said Peter Filler, Chicago Title's
Regional Manager in San Diego. "By reducing the cost to purchase a new home
or refinance an existing home to tap equity needed to repair fire damage,
we are committed to helping rebuild the lives of those hurt by these
wildfires."
To speed the recovery effort, FNTG offices in Southern California are
ready to send firestorm victims who contact them copies of their grant
deeds, quitclaim deeds (if applicable), and all open deeds of trust, which
can help victims in dealing with insurance companies, mortgage lenders,
financial planners and estate planners.
In addition, FNTG is helping protect victims from identity theft and
fraud by offering a free year's worth of credit monitoring and a free
credit report from Experian, one of the nation's leading credit information
companies. The free service is offered when refinancing or purchasing a new
home and using services from one of FNTG's title underwriters.
Homeowners whose property was partially or totally destroyed in the
disaster will have up to 24 months from the date the area was declared a
disaster by the state or federal government to take advantage of Chicago
Title's insurance savings. The rate applies to American Land Title
Association (ALTA) or California Land Title Association (CLTA) lender's
policies for financing or refinancing a property valued at up to $5
million.
