The department of insurance just changed all of the regulations on this.


From what I understand, a MSA in its most simple form should be legal. However these title insurance companies are paying an exorbitant amount of money to their affiliates and can't explain how they arrived at a value for the services. As long as the money being paid is actually for services performed and the amount is not dictated by the number of policies bound I don't think anything is illegal about it. I've been wrong before though.

My cousin had some lawyers draft one up for his P&C operation to use with a real estate brokerage.


Do you know if he used a lawyer in Baton Rouge? (If he's from Baton Rouge) I'm not in the industry right now this is just a side project I am playing with.

There isn't one attorney in Baton Rouge I would trust to write one of these MSAs up. There is one in Louisiana (New Orleans area) who knows what he is doing & who regulators actually trust and there a couple of others out of D.C. who know what they are doing but outside of that you better have an attorney who really knows what they are doing because those agreements need to be done very carefully from my experience. I know several attorneys who have told me the CFPB has even told them to use one of those attorneys to draft the agreement and not to trust anyone else.

And to answer your second question no there is much more that has to be put into those agreements to make them legal federally.
