If the owner elects not to purchase title insurance, the title insurer or title agent shall obtain from the owner a statement in writing that the notice has been received and that the owner waives the right to purchase title insurance. The statement, together with the waiver, if any, shall be retained by the title insurer or title agent for not less than 5 years after its receipt.
