Sec. 12. (a) A title insurance company may authorize an appointed agent of the title insurance company to execute certificates of release under this chapter by recording a notice of authorization in the office of the county recorder for each county in which the duly appointed agent is authorized to execute and record certificates of release on behalf of the title insurance company. The notice of authorization must state the following:
(1) The name of the title insurance company that is authorizing an appointed agent to execute certificates of release on behalf of the title insurance company.
(2) The identity of the person who is an appointed agent of the title insurance company and who is authorized to execute and record certificates of release in accordance with the requirements of this chapter on behalf of the title insurance company.
(3) That the appointed agent has full authority to execute and record certificates of release in accordance with the requirements of this chapter on behalf of the title insurance company.
(b) The notice of authorization must be executed and acknowledged in the same manner as required by law in Indiana for the execution and acknowledgment of a deed.
(c) A single notice of authorization recorded in the office of a county recorder under this section constitutes the authority of the appointed agent to execute and record certificates of release in that county on behalf of the title insurance company. A separate notice of authority is not required for each certificate of release recorded by an appointed agent.
(d) The authority granted to an appointed agent by a title insurance company under this section continues until a revocation of the notice of authorization is recorded in the office of the county recorder for the county in which the notice of authorization was recorded.
(e) The delegation of authority to an appointed agent by a title insurance company under this section does not relieve the title insurance company of any liability for damages for the wrongful or erroneous execution and recording of a certificate of release by the appointed agent.
