What is Title Insurance?

Title to real estate transfers through many different types of conveyances, the most common of which is a “deed”. These transfers are recorded in the public records.

Our team conducts a search of the public records to find those records. However, even the most skilled professionals cannot uncover everything that may affect ownership to property.

Title Insurance was created to fill that gap. It is a policy intended to protect the insured (buyer or lender, most commonly) from financial losses due to defects in title to real estate. While these defects are rare, when they occur, the tend to be expensive and time-consuming.
