Best Answer

A retention limit is the same as a deductible. Deductibles or retention limits are part of the policy. Insurance companies don't just make up deductibles. Usually clients choose higher deductibles in exchange for lower premiums. The same goes for retention limits, in that the higher retention limit a client is willing to accept on their own the lower the premium charged to that client by the insurance company.

Why is there a need for house insurance?

Insurance companies are in the business in accepting your risk in exchange for an insurance premium. You have the risk of loss in loosing your home to fire, theft, windstorm, flood, lightning, etc and by purchasing a policy you are transferring this risk of loss to the insurance company who agrees to rebuild your home or give you the funds to do so. The liability coverage also transfers the risk of liability loss from yourself to the insurance company. If someone came to your home and was injured on your steps by falling and you were negligent by not securing the steps properly and putting sturdy handrails on the steps. The insurance company protects you by providing your defense costs plus it pays any damages to the claimant if you are found negligent and required to pay a judgement by the courts.

For safety reasons most insurance companies require that you have a handrail for steps that are 3-4 steps or more. The reason the insurance company is concerned about safety concerns around your home is that the homeowners policy includes liability coverage which defends you and pays any judgements. The same reason applies for having a fence and lockable gate around a pool and not having viscous dogs that could or have bitten people.


What are the first steps in starting a Title Insurance Company?

Starting any Insurance Company requires mega paper work, title insurance is no different. Consult a good insurance attorney who is well-versed in your state's insurance laws. An insurance COMPANY (think Prudential, Axa, State Farm) is required to have SIGNIFICANT cash reserves and liquid assets and fall under state and federal guidelines. You need to decide if you will be a privately held or public company, and if public, then you will need deal with the issues of IPO. You will need to structure the company, identify your board of directors, obtain your business financing, hire your key staff, etc. Creating an insurance company will probably take several months to a year to get your licenses and compliances in place with the states you intend to do business in. Please note, an Insurance COMPANY is the actual entity that issuesinsurance. If you are thinking of a Title AGENCY, that is a completely different animal and, if you don't know the difference, you probably should not be in business as either.
