OK I'll admit right up front, I'm trying to take a bit of a shortcut  
here. I will be developing a full retention schedule, including all  
necessary research, but I was hoping to get some guidance on three  
series that comprise a huge volume of our records: Title Policies,  
Title Policy Claims, and Escrow documents.

Our in-house attorneys believe that most of our offices have a decent  
idea of how long to keep them and are OK with letting them continue as  
is until I can get around to developing the official schedule.  
However, we are moving and consolidating storage vendors and as I'm  
reviewing the inventories, I'm not seeing very much consistency --  
even within the same state. We have thousands of these files going  
back to the early 1990's. I hate to move them if they can be destroyed  
now or in the near future. Does anyone have any guidance on how long  
they keep these types of files? I know the Department of Insurance  
would be one agency that may have applicable regulations ... what  
other agencies or laws should I look at?
