Why Do I Need Title Insurance?

 

Your home is probably going to be your biggest asset or investment,
therefore it must be protected.
Title insurance protects against:
 
Any hidden title defects
Forged documents
Errors
Misrepresentation
Clouds on title
 
Even though great efforts are practiced to insure your title is clear, sometimes 
documents have not been filed properly. Circumstances like the ones listed 
above could possibly jeopardize the equity you worked so hard for. This is
 where you need the protection of Title Insurance.
 

What Does A Title Agency Do?

 

 
1. Title Insurance Agencies begin with a thorough title search through the public 
records located at the county court house. The agency also performs an 
unrecorded lien search to make sure that municipal taxes, water and sewer 
fees are current.
 
2. The agency then takes all their findings and creates a commitment which will 
show ownership and easements filed of record, and will also show everything 
that needs to be cleared and satisfied to insure a clear title.
 
 
3. Once the commitment is prepared, the agency will order any payoffs 
(such as mortgages, liens or judgments), receive copies of the borrower's 
homeowner's insurance policy, and survey. If the borrower does not have 
a survey, one will be ordered on their behalf, if the lender requires one.
 
 
4. After everything is satisfied, we are ready to close. We will schedule a 
closing time for the buyer to sign their documents.  After all documents 
are signed, the closing documents are submitted to the lender for funding
approval.
 
 
5. Once all steps have been completed and all documents have been 
recorded, the agency will then issue the title policy.
