About Title Insurance

Title Insurance protects your right to your home.

As property changes hands, mistakes and irregularities, often made long before you plan on purchasing the property, can place your ownership in dispute. Even a simple mistake in the recording of legal documents, improper execution of legal instruments or the reappearance of undisclosed or missing heirs can result in the loss of your home.

If our title search reveals recorded defects, liens or encumbrances upon the title, such as unpaid taxes, unsatisfied mortgages, easements, restrictions or other impediments, these are reported to you prior to your purchase of the property.

We offer comprehensive title curative and title clearance solutions to resolving these impediments so you own your property free and clear at closing.

Purchasing an owner’s title insurance policy is your peace of mind that, should an issue arise that challenges the validity of your ownership, your policy will defend your possession of the property and assume the legal costs of that defense for as long as you and your heirs own the property. If any challenge to your property’s title proves to be legitimate, title insurance will pay for your losses, just as your title insurance policy provides.
