17213
. (a) An escrow agent shall not transact business pursuant to
this division under any other name than that set forth in the
articles of incorporation as filed with the commissioner.
(b) An escrow agent's license is not transferable or assignable.
Further, no license may be acquired, either in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, through stock purchase, foreclosure pursuant
to a pledge or hypothecation, or other devices without the consent of
the commissioner. Prior to the transfer of 10 percent or more of the
shares of an escrow agent, the escrow agent shall file a new
application for licensure as required by Section 17201. However, a
new application for licensure shall not be required to be filed by
the escrow agent if the transfer of 10 percent or more of the shares
of the escrow agent will be made by an existing shareholder to
another existing shareholder who also owns 10 percent or more of the
shares of the escrow agent before the transfer.
