The Ohio Title Agent Bond is required by the State of Ohio Department of Insurance in the amount of $150,000. The bond states that the bondholder shall indemnify any person against the loss of money or such property, through any fraudulent or dishonest act or acts committed by the bondholder, its employees or officers as an escrow, settlement, or closing agent in a transaction where there is no title insurance policy issued.
