(a) A title insurer or title agent that issues a mortgagee's policy of title insurance on a loan made simultaneous to the purchase of all or part of the residential property securing the loan, if no owner's policy has been ordered, shall inform the borrower in writing that the mortgagee's policy is to be issued, 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. This notice shall be provided before disbursement of the loan proceeds and before issuance of the mortgagee's policy. The notice shall be on a form the commissioner prescribes.
(b) If the borrower elects not to purchase an owner's title insurance policy, the title insurer or title agent shall obtain from him 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 buyer 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 the commissioner prescribes, and shall be retained by the title insurer or title agent for at least five (5) years after receipt.
