CLAIMS FILING DEADLINE WAS JANUARY 28, 2015 On July 28, 2014, the State Corporation Commission (the "Commission") for the Commonwealth of Virginia entered its Order of Liquidation with a Finding of Insolvency ("Liquidation Order") for Southern Title Insurance Corporation ("Southern Title"). The Commission set the Claim Filing Deadline for six months after the date of the Liquidation Order. Therefore, all claimants were to file their Proofs of Claim ("POC") by the Claims Filing Deadline of January 28, 2015. All timely filed claims were also required to be rendered, certain, liquidated, and non-contingent before January 28, 2015. Southern Title is currently adjudicating Proofs of Claim and will issue a Notice of Claim Determination approving or denying the POC. If a claim is denied, the claimant may file an appeal under the Receivership Appeal Procedure. Listed below are links to the POC Form, POC Instructions, Liquidation Order, and the Receivership Appeal Procedures. If a POC is received after the Claims Filing Deadline, it will be considered as a lower priority claim to be paid after all other claims are paid subject to the availability of funds.
