ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

                 This Amendment No. 8 amends and restates the statement on
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28,
1994, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), with respect to the common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of US Facilities Corporation (the
"Company"), with its principal executive offices located at 650 Town Center
Drive, Suite 1600, Costa Mesa, California 92626.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

                 This Statement is being filed by Fidelity National Financial,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fidelity").  The principal executive offices of
Fidelity are located at 17911 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 300, Irvine, California
92714.  Fidelity is a national underwriter engaged in the business of issuing
title insurance policies and performing other title-related services through
its underwriting subsidiaries.


                 Information regarding the directors and executive officers of
Fidelity is set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, which Schedule is hereby
incorporated by reference.  Except as set forth on Schedule I, all of the
directors and executive officers of Fidelity are citizens of the United States.

                 During the last five years, neither Fidelity nor, to the best
knowledge of Fidelity, any person named in Schedule I attached hereto has been
(a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                 463,300 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
Fidelity were purchased with general working capital funds of Fidelity during
the period between March 21, 1994 and May 6, 1994, for an aggregate purchase
price of $4,808,962.50  (net of brokerage commissions).  The remaining 88,150
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Fidelity were initially purchased
in 1993 by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity for investment purposes, for
an aggregate net purchase price of $804,368.75 (net of brokerage commissions).
Such purchases were made with general working capital funds of such subsidiary.





                              Page 3 of 11 Pages

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                 The purpose of the purchase by Fidelity of the shares of
Common Stock referred to above was to acquire a significant equity position in
the Company.  In April, 1994, Fidelity submitted a proposal to the Company to
acquire all the outstanding Common Stock by way of a merger transaction.
Subsequently, in connection with the Company's 1994 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, Fidelity engaged in a proxy contest in which it solicited proxies
in favor of a non-binding stockholder resolution calling on the Board of
Directors to seek a sale or merger of the Company (the "Stockholder
Resolution") and in favor of the election of two individuals (nominated by
Fidelity but otherwise unaffiliated with Fidelity) as directors of the Company
(the "Independent Nominees").  The Stockholder Resolution was adopted, but the
Independent Nominees were not elected to the Company's Board of Directors.
Fidelity's merger proposal was renewed and revised on several occasions both
before and after the Company's 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The last
such proposal was made in March, 1995.  Neither Fidelity's merger proposals nor
the adoption of the Stockholder Resolution has resulted in any substantive
discussions or negotiations between Fidelity and the Company concerning the
sale or merger of the Company to or with Fidelity or any third party.  
Attached as Exhibits 1 through 22 hereto, which are incorporated herein by
reference, are certain documents relating to the foregoing matters, including
certain press releases issued by Fidelity and certain communications between 
Fidelity and the Company and between Fidelity and the Company's stockholders.

                 During the spring and summer of 1995, representatives of
Fidelity and the Company engaged in sporadic discussions and negotiations with
respect to a potential arrangement between Fidelity and the Company, whereby
Fidelity would increase its percentage ownership interest in the Company up to
approximately 20%, a representative of Fidelity would become a member of the
Company's Board of Directors, and Fidelity would agree to certain long term
standstill restrictions regarding the Company.  These discussions and
negotiations ultimately proved to be unsatisfactory to Fidelity and have been
discontinued.  At this time, Fidelity does not intend to pursue or renew its
efforts to acquire the Company or any additional shares of Common Stock or to
obtain representation on the Board of Directors of the Company.  Fidelity
nonetheless reserves its right to determine at any time to renew its efforts to
acquire the Company, to seek representation on the Company's Board of
Directors, to take actions with a view towards encouraging or facilitating a
sale of the Company to Fidelity or to a third party, and/or to exercise any of
its rights as a significant stockholder of the Company.

                 With respect to the Common Stock currently beneficially owned
by Fidelity, Fidelity intends to consider and review various factors on a
continuous basis, including the Company's financial condition, business and
prospects, other developments concerning the Company, the price of shares of
Common Stock,





                              Page 4 of 11 Pages


<PAGE>   5
other investment and business opportunities available to Fidelity, developments
with respect to Fidelity's business, and general economic, money and stock
market conditions.  Based upon such review and subject to applicable legal
requirements, Fidelity may determine to dispose of all or a portion of such
shares of Common Stock from time to time in open market or in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise.  Alternatively, based upon such review
and subject to applicable legal requirements, Fidelity may determine to
continue to hold all or any portion of such shares of Common Stock.

                 Except as otherwise described herein, Fidelity has no plan or
proposal with respect to the Company which relates to or would result in any of
the matters listed in Items 4(a) - (j) of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                 As of the close of business on September 7, 1995, Fidelity was
the beneficial owner of 551,450 shares, which constitute in the aggregate 9.8%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 5,623,098 shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of August 9, 1995, as disclosed in the Company's quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 1995).  Frank P.
Willey, President and Director of Fidelity, also owns 500 shares of Common
Stock, which shares were purchased for investment in January, 1992.

                 Except as described in the preceding paragraph, neither
Fidelity nor, to the best knowledge of Fidelity, any of the persons referred to
in Schedule I attached hereto, beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock.

                 Fidelity, and to the best knowledge of Fidelity, each of the
persons referred to in Schedule I attached hereto, has the sole power to vote,
direct the voting of, dispose of and direct the disposition of the Common Stock
owned by it.

                 Fidelity has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock
during the past 60 days.

                 Fidelity has the sole right to receive or the power to direct
the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common
Stock beneficially owned by it.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                 None.

                 Except as described herein, neither Fidelity nor any other
person referred to in Schedule I attached hereto has any contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any
person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not
limited to, transfer or voting of





                              Page 5 of 11 Pages


<PAGE>   6
any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits or
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
