Insurance Claim And Title Transfer

Summary

If an insurance company requests a power of attorney after a total loss payment, review your policy and consult a lawyer to protect your rights. Not signing may delay the title transfer and settlement. If another driver was at fault, their insurance should cover your deductible. Seek legal advice to understand the implications of signing documents and ensure your rights are not waived.
