What is title insurance and why do I need it?
Title insurance is a type of insurance that protects homeowners and mortgage lenders against losses that may arise from defects or problems with the title to a property. The title to a property is the legal ownership of the property, and it can be affected by various factors such as liens, judgments, unpaid taxes, undisclosed heirs, and mistakes in public records.
When you buy a property, you receive a title commitment that shows the history of ownership and any liens or encumbrances on the property. Title insurance is designed to provide protection against any issues that may not be revealed in the title commitment. Without title insurance, you could be at risk of losing your investment in the property if a problem with the title arises. Title insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection against unexpected issues with the title, and can save you from costly legal battles and expenses. It is a one-time premium paid at the time of purchase or refinancing, and the policy remains in effect as long as you own the property.
