Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Title Insurance?
For buyers and investors alike, title insurance is designed to protect them based on the unique history of any given property. This is to determine if there are any disputes or changes to the rights of the property, and to resolve them as needed or make them known.
How Does Title Insurance Work?
When you purchase or refinance a property, the title insurance process confirms that there are no relevant disputes over who has rights to the property. The result is peace of mind and a smooth transaction, both in the moment and in future.
Do I Need Title Insurance?
Title insurance is an immediate way to protect you — and your lender — from any potential pitfalls and to assure you of full control over your home or property. In that sense, it is necessary.
What Is A Title Search?
A title search involves a detailed examination of a property’s historical records. Deeds, court documents, and more more, all ways in which to verify the seller’s right to transfer said property to you as the new owner.
What Can A Title Search Reveal?
Some of the familiar terms that a title search may reveal involve defects, liens, and other encumbrances and restrictions. Things like unpaid taxes, unsatisfied mortgages, and judgements or restrictions on the very land itself.
Do You Need Title Insurance When Refinancing?
Yes. Even if nothing has changed about your ownership of the property, any time that you refinance you will need to seek out title insurance for both yourself and your lender.
