Pennsylvania Title Rate Manual TIRBOP

I decided sharing portions of the TIRBOP manual might help consumers understand title insurance in Pennsylvania. I decided to actually type the material because I find typing relaxing AND it's a good refresher. Since I'm typing, I'll leave out parts that I think aren't really necessary and are hard to type, like the table of contents which looks like a real killer. LOL.......okay, here goes.....
