When you purchase a home, you're not just buying walls and a roof; you're investing in a place where memories will be made. It's likely one of the most significant financial decisions you'll ever make. But with that dream of homeownership comes a level of risk. What if someone claims ownership of your property due to a clerical error or undisclosed heir? Title insurance is your safety net, ensuring that you and your family can enjoy your home without the fear of unexpected legal issues. Let's explore what title insurance is, why you need it, and how it can protect your most valuable asset.

WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE?

Title insurance for homeowners secures your property rights. 

Before purchasing your home, the process involves investigating, resolving any issues, and then insuring the title, ensuring protection for your property rights throughout your ownership and that of your successors.

In the event of any dispute over property ownership, owner's title insurance safeguards you from costly legal entanglements that could jeopardize the ownership of your home.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY WITH THE SECURITY OF OWNER’S TITLE INSURANCE

We conduct thorough research of public records to identify documents related to your property, offering a comprehensive analysis of any recorded issues that might affect the title.

 

If our examination uncovers any recorded defects, liens, or encumbrances on the title—like unpaid taxes, unsatisfied mortgages, easements, restrictions, or other complications—we will inform you before you finalize your purchase.

We also propose ways to resolve these issues, ensuring that you own your property free and clear at the time of closing.

 

HOW TITLE INSURANCE WORKS:

When a property is transferred, various issues or discrepancies—often arising long before you showed interest in the property—can jeopardize your ownership. Here are some common scenarios that might affect your title:

 

• The seller might not disclose that they used the property as security for a loan they haven't paid off.
• They could falsely claim to be the only owner of the property.
• They may have neglected to pay real estate taxes.

Additionally, even minor errors in legal paperwork, improper signing of legal documents, or the unexpected emergence of undisclosed or missing heirs can lead to complications that might ultimately threaten your claim to the property.

TITLE INSURANCE: THE ULTIMATE PROPERTY PROTECTION

If it turns out that the challenge to your title is valid, the insurance will compensate you for any losses according to the terms of your policy.
