What it protects
Unpaid liens, recording errors, undisclosed heirs, fraud, boundary issues, easements, and mistakes in prior deeds.
Title insurance guide
Title insurance protects ownership after closing.
A title search reduces risk before closing. Title insurance helps protect buyers and lenders from covered ownership problems that may appear later.
01
Plain English, but still precise.
Good title education should reduce risk and help people act correctly. It should not flatten legal and financial work into vague reassurance.
Owner vs lender policy
A lender policy protects the lender. An owner policy protects the buyer’s ownership interest.
Title commitment
The commitment shows requirements, exceptions, and policy terms before closing.
Common defects
Old mortgages, judgments, tax liens, probate issues, deed mistakes, restrictions, and easements.
