Protecting Your Largest Single Investment

Protecting purchasers against loss from defective titles, liens and encumbrances is accomplished through the issuance of a Title Insurance policy. Unlike other types of insurance that protect your home, Title Insurance protects against loss from hazards and defects that already exist in the title and is purchased with a one time premium. Other types of insurance protect against possible future events and charge an annual premium.

Two Types of Title Insurance Benefit You in Two Ways

Lenders or mortgage protection is required by the lender as security for their investment in real estate. When title insurance is provided, lenders are willing to make mortgage money available to borrowers for the purchase of real estate.

Owners title insurance covers the policyholder against loss due to certain hazards found in title. The coverage lasts as long as you, the policyholder or your heirs have an interest in the insured property.

The Process of Insuring Real Estate

Title insuring begins with a search or public land records affecting the real estate concerned. An examination is conducted to determine whether the property is insurable. The examination of evidence from a search is intended to fully report all “material objections” to the title. Frequently, documents that don’t clearly transfer title are found in the “chain” or history of title transactions. Through the search and title examination, title problems are disclosed so they can be corrected whenever possible. However, even the most careful preventative work cannot locate all hidden title hazards. Some examples of hazards include:

• A forged signature on the deed, which would mean no transfer of ownership to you.
• An unknown heir of a previous owner who is claiming ownership of the property.
• Instruments executed under an expired or fabricated power of attorney.
• Mistakes in the public records

Title insurance offers financial protection against these and other covered title hazards.

Why Title Insurance?

A home is usually the largest investment any of us will ever make. When you purchase a home, you will buy several types of insurance coverage to protect your home and personal property. Hazard insurance protects against fire, theft or wind damage. Flood insurance protects against high or rising waters. And title insurance protects against hidden title hazards that may threaten your financial investment in your home.
