1. What is title? Title is all interests in a given piece of property. When buying property, the current owner, the owner's family and the owner's heirs all have rights or claims in and to the property. In addition, others may have an interest in the property you are buying - such as contractors, lenders, the IRS, governmental agencies, or a variety of other individuals or corporations. The property can be sold to you without the knowledge of these parties, and you may purchase it without having knowledge of these rights or claims. These rights do not disappear simply because you do not know about them. In fact, these rights remain "attached" to the title of the property you are buying until they are properly released.

2. How does a Buyer protect themselves from these claims? A Buyer wants to receive "clean title" to the property they are purchasing. In order to do so, a Buyer must be informed of all the present and future interests in the property and protected against them. Title insurance provides this by protecting against existing interests that are discovered by a diligent review of the land records, and also by protecting against undiscoverable interests such as fraud or forgery, or even general errors in the recording process. If a Buyer is borrowing money to purchase property, the Lender will require the Buyer to purchase title insurance for the Lender in the amount of the loan to assure the quality of title. This policy only protects the Lender, and it is up to the Buyer to protect its interests with an Owners Policy.
3. What does title insurance cost and if a Buyer purchases it what can they expect? The cost of title insurance varies according to loan amount and purchase price. It is a one-time premium paid for in full at closing and protects the Buyer for the life of their ownership in the property. When purchased, title insurance will protect against: mistakes in recording, false impersonations, forged deeds, releases or wills, undisclosed or missing heirs, etc (*see the full list in our Legal Talk section) by defending the Buyer against any lawsuit challenging title to the property at no cost to the Buyer. When simultaneously purchased with the obligatory Lender's Policy, the Owner's Policy can be obtained at a reduced rate for the best possible value.
