Title Insurance
When you purchase real estate, after homeowner's insurance, your single most important investment is title insurance. The only document evidencing your ownership is a deed from the seller conveying the property to you, the buyer. The title insurance policy backs up the claims contained in your deed, protecting the lender or buyer from disputes about ownership or liens. A title insurance policy protects the purchaser against errors and omissions or defects in the title of the property. So when little Johnny comes knocking at your door three years after you purchased your home, claiming that he is the rightful owner of your house, you will turn to your title insurer to defend you. Do not underestimate the importance of paying the one time premium at closing for the piece of mind that title insurance provides.
Our office will work with your title insurer and the seller's counsel to address title defects, liens and encumbrances. After you are satisfied with the state of title for the subject property, we will schedule and attend a closing, and review title insurer documents with you to ensure your complete understanding of the title insurance portion of the real estate closing, and to ensure a smooth transition from seller to buyer.
