A. A person recovering under the Title Insurance Guaranty Act shall be deemed to have assigned his rights and claims under the insolvent insurer’s policy to the association to the extent of his recovery from the association. Every insured seeking the protection of the Title Insurance Guaranty Act shall cooperate with the association to the same extent as required to cooperate with the insurer. The association shall have no cause of action against an insured for sums it has paid out except such causes of action as the insurer would have had. In the case of an insolvent insurer operating on a plan with assessment liability, payments of claims by the association do not operate to reduce the liability of the insured to the receiver, liquidator or statutory successor for unpaid assessments.
