Buying a home can be the wisest and most rewarding investment you will ever make. Title insurance plays a major role in making certain home ownership is safe and secure. Title insurance protects you against a number of title defects that could jeopardize your interest in the property you have just purchased, such as an unsatisfied mortgage lien, unpaid fees, judgments or other recorded claims against the property. Claims could arise through easements, usage restrictions or other existing covenants, or it could be a hidden risk. To name only a few of these:
- fraud or forgery in previous documents
- improperly executed deeds
- improperly files liens and mortgages
- undisclosed heirs or others having a claim of title
The list could go on and on. Owner's title insurance eliminates the risk of loss to you through claims against the title as insured in your policy. The underwriter assumes all legal expenses involved in adjudicating claims and protects you against any loss whatever arising from claims affecting your title, even though they may occur through errors made in the public records.
Title Insurance is your policy of protection against foreseeable or unforeseeable claims against your home. Title insurance plays a major role in making certain home ownership is safe and secure.
