The person who pays for the policy selects the title insurance company. Be sure that any title company you select meets your standards and those of your lender. Ultimately, the choice of which title insurance company to select is yours.
Buyers have the liberty to select the California title company that aligns with their preferences, financial considerations, and trusted recommendations from professional real estate agents or lenders.
In California, these companies that insure titles to properties are tightly governed by the Department of Insurance. As with many other facets of real estate, title companies and title matters are susceptible to various disputes and legal issues.
For example, in Southern California, it is common for the buyer to select the escrow company, whereas, in Northern California, the seller might make the choice.

A simple title report is typically completed in less than two weeks, if not faster, from order to receipt. That's manual. That's admin to a title officer back to admin. You can verify ownership through the county assessor and usually pull the last deed online.
Who can prepare deeds in California? Deeds are normally prepared by escrow or title companies as part of a transaction.
Preparation: The grantor (current owner) must prepare the quitclaim deed document, which includes the names of the grantor and grantee, the legal description of the property, and the words of conveyance.
In California, spouses have equal rights and responsibilities about the marital home and any mortgages that bind it: debts and property. The spouse gives up all rights to the property when he signs a quit claim deed but does not give up any responsibilities for the mortgage.
Typically the document is dated when it is actually signed by the grantor. The signature of the party giving the property. The grantee does not have to sign. The seal of the notary public or authorized official who verified the identity of the signing party.
