Will title insurance be included in the new securitization models that emerge? Come hear from recognized experts in residential mortgage securitization about the future of RMBS.

Speakers from a wide range of expertise will discuss and advise you on how to improve your errors and omission coverage, protect your escrow account from external fraud, and improve the quality and protection from your vendor services and independent contractors.
