Title insurance is a unique form of insurance paid as a onetime fee usually at a real estate closing/consummation. Title insurance protects the insured from encumbrances against the property whether known or unknown, such as unpaid mortgages, liens, improper deeds, etc. There are two main forms of title insurance: 1) Owner’s Title Policy; and, 2) Lender’s Title Policy. The Owner’s title policy protects the purchaser of real estate up to the policy amount (generally the purchase price) from any title defects. The lender’s title policy protects the lender up to the loan amount for any title defect claims that may arise claiming another party has priority over their claim against the property.
