Protection against covered title risks.
Title insurance is different from many other forms of insurance because it focuses on certain title risks associated with ownership or a lender’s lien. Coverage is governed by the actual policy, including its terms, exclusions, exceptions, and conditions.
Owner and lender policies serve different purposes. Our team can explain which policies are involved in your transaction and provide the applicable policy forms and commitment information.
What happens during a title search?
A title search reviews relevant public records to identify matters that may affect ownership, liens, encumbrances, or the ability to insure the transaction.
The results are used to prepare title requirements and exceptions and to identify items that need to be addressed before or in connection with closing.
