Title and Escrow 

    

Title Agents Handling Escrow:

A title agent, whether a natural person or firm, does not need an additional license to handle escrow. NRS 692A.240 allows a person to administer escrows if they are licensed as a title insurer, a title agent or escrow officer pursuant to Title 57 or as an escrow agent or escrow agency pursuant to Chapter NRS 645A.

A person working for a title agent/insurer can be licensed as an escrow officer if they only handle escrows and do not sell, solicit, or negotiate insurance. A person not working for a title agent/insurer can be licensed as an escrow agent (natural person) or escrow agency (firm) if they only handle escrows and are not involved in the business of title insurance.

 

Unlawful Inducements in the Title Industry:

The Nevada Division of Insurance often receives questions regarding marketing practices in the title industry that may violate Nevada's rebate and inducement laws. Real estate and mortgage professionals may unknowingly be asking title professionals for items or favors that they are not allowed to provide under Nevada law. Please see Bulletins 14-009 and 18-007 for details.
