Hi Ruth,
In MD, DC & VA, attorneys must carry a title insurance producer's license, just like anyone else, whether they are issuing the insurance or they are an approved attorney. All three jurisdictions have a statutory disclosure regarding title insurance and the fact that the title agency is receiving a portion of the premium as compensation for services rendered. Hope this helps. Feel free to reach out directly if you need more information.

Subject: Title Insurance Disclosure Requirements?
Do any in the community work in a state where attorneys are title agents? Do you have any requirements that the attorney give a disclosure about their status as an agent for the sale of the policy in conjunction with issuance of an owner's policy in the course of a residential closing?
