Once FNT receives your real estate contract, one of the first steps we will take is ensuring that the owner holds a clear and unencumbered deed to the property. If a seller becomes financially overextended, creditors often place liens on the property title that must be resolved before the property can change hands. Occasionally, there are more serious problems, such as fraud, forgery, or even previously unknown heirs with a legitimate claim on the property.
Our title agents will begin by performing a thorough title search. Once they’re satisfied that the title is free from encumbrances, and once the closing has been successfully completed, FNT will issue you an owner’s title insurance policy that will be effective for as long as you own the land. In the unlikely event of a future title dispute, your policy protects you. We proudly offer title insurance products from top underwriters, including First American Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth Land and Title Insurance Company, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, and you’ll enjoy true peace of mind as you proceed with your land investment!
