But what is title insurance, and how does it protect you?
A lot can happen over a property's lifetime, and title insurance is a "must" for home buyers and real estate investors. Before a home or land tract can be sold, the seller must first be able to demonstrate the ability to convey clear, unencumbered ownership. If the seller has outstanding debts or legal judgments, there may be liens in place that must be resolved before the sale can proceed. Some encumbrances are simple clerical errors that are easy to resolve; however, occasionally, there might be more serious problems, such as fraud or forgery. And if a previous owner died without leaving a will, there could even be previously unknown heirs with a legitimate claim to the property!
After our title agents have completed the title search and our closing agents have completed the closing of the transaction, our final step will be to issue an owner's title insurance policy that will remain in effect for as long as you own your home or land tract. Your owner's policy protects you in the unlikely event of a future title dispute.
Our team of nearly 200 title and closing team members handles every detail accurately and efficiently, and we're here to ensure that you enjoy true peace of mind as you move into your new home.
