New Mexico Statutes Chapter 59A. Insurance Code § 59A-8-11. Title insurance reserves

A. As to title insurance the insurer shall set up and maintain unearned premium reserves as follows:

B. The sums so reserved initially, or maintained thereafter, in accordance with the above provisions shall be considered unearned portions of the gross risk premiums on such guaranties or policies and shall be shown as a liability of the insurer in determining its financial condition.

C. If a title insurer on withdrawing from the title insurance business in this state desires to reinsure with another title insurer all its title guaranties or policies in this state, the superintendent may require the reinsurer to increase its unearned premium reserve by an amount not greater than the unearned premium reserve required of the withdrawing insurer as to the guaranties and policies so reinsured.

D. The term “gross risk premium” as used in this section shall not include charges for abstracting, record searching, escrow and closing services and other related services which may be provided by the insurer, or costs and expenses of examinations of title, or premiums paid for reinsurance.
