(a) A title insurer or title agent that issues a mortgagee's policy of title insurance on a loan made simultaneous with the purchase of all or part of the residential property securing the loan, where no owner's policy has been ordered, shall inform the borrower in writing that the mortgagee's policy does not protect the borrower, and that the borrower may obtain an owner's title insurance policy for his protection. Such notice shall be provided before disbursement of the loan proceeds and before issuance of a mortgagee's policy and shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioner.
(b) If the borrower elects not to purchase an owner's title insurance policy, the title insurer or title agent shall obtain from the borrower a statement in writing that the notice has been received and that the borrower waives the right to purchase an owner's title insurance policy. If the borrower refuses to provide the statement and waiver, the title insurer or title agent shall so note in the file. The statement and waiver shall be on a form prescribed by the commissioner and shall be retained by the title insurer or title agent for at least five years after receipt.
