What is owner’s title insurance and why do I need it?
When you purchase a home, your lender will insist that you have a title insurance policy for the amount of your mortgage loan. It is important that you also have coverage to insure your ownership interest. There are many potential defects in title that simply cannot be discovered, even with a careful title search. A few examples include forged deeds, unreleased mortgages or other liens, claims by Indian nations, and transfers by persons without legal capacity. For a modest price, an owner’s title insurance policy will give you coverage for any such title defects.
We would be pleased to answer your questions about title insurance or any other aspects of your home purchase.
