Title Insurance
What is Title Insurance and what benefits does it provide?
Title insurance is a form of indemnity insurance which
insures against financial loss from defects in title to real
property and from the invalidity or unenforceability of
mortgage loans. With a title insurance policy, you have an
indemnity contract that will reimburse you for loss in the
event someone asserts a claim against your property that is
covered by the policy.
How can there be a title defect if the title has been
searched?
Title insurance is issued after a careful examination of
documents filed in the public records. Even the most
thorough search cannot absolutely assure that no title
hazards are present, despite the knowledge and experience of
professional title examiners and underwriting
praWestend Titleses. In addition to matters shown by public
records, numerous other title problems may exist that are
not disclosed in a search.
What does Title Insurance protect against?
Here are just a few of the most common hidden risks that can
cause a loss of title or create an encumbrance on title:
- Errors or omissions in recorded legal documents
- Mistakes in examining title records
- Fraud or forgery
- Erroneous or inadequate legal descriptions
- False impersonation of the true owner of the property
-
Forged deeds, releases or wills, instruments executed under
invalid or expired power of attorney
-
Misinterpretations of wills and deeds by persons of unsound
mind
- Deeds by minors
-
Deeds by persons supposedly single, but in fact married
-
Liens for unpaid estate, inheritance, income, real estate or
gift taxes
What protection does title insurance provide against defects
and hidden risks?
The title insurer will defend
its
insured against
any covered lawsuit
attacking title, and will either clear up title problems or
compensate the insured for its loss. For a one-time premium,
an owner's title insurance policy remains in effect as long
as
you retain an
interest in the property.
What does this ultimately mean to you?
The peace of mind in knowing that the investment you've made
is a safe one. And, in the event of a title defect, you have
a company who has been in business for over 160 years and
holds the largest claims reserves in the industry to help
protect you against costly errors and omissions.
