Real estate may be your most valuable asset. Protect your asset for you and your heirs by ensuring that you have full knowledge of parties who have an interest in your property. These parties may include lenders, individuals, corporations, government entities, or the Internal Revenue Service. Any claims will remain with the title to your property until they are extinguished.
It is of utmost importance that you receive clear title to the property when you purchase real estate. Title insurance informs you of any existing rights or claims that may, in the future, threaten your title and possession to the property.
Title insurance gives you the assurance that possible claims on title to the property you are purchasing have been called to your attention so that such defects can be corrected before you buy. Additionally, it is insurance that if any undiscovered claims covered by your policy arises out of the past to threaten your ownership of real estate, it will be disposed of, or you will be reimbursed exactly as your title insurance policy provides.
