Why do I need title insurance?
Title Insurance is the only guaranteed protection against real estate title losses. It insures your ownership of your home. Your lender will require Lender's Title Insurance but that only protects their interest, it insures the lender for the original amount of the loan against invalidity of the mortgage which secures the loan.
The Owner's Policy of Title Insurance protects you. It informs you of any other interest in the property, such as liens and encumbrances, and protects you against unknown claims of ownership to your interests in your property.
Most people have fire, car, and life insurance. You pay premiums every year to continue your protection. When you purchase an Owner's Title Insurance Policy, you pay your premium only once for coverage that will protect your initial investment for as long as you own your home. Title Insurance protects you from hidden risks not revealed by an examination of the public records.
Common examples of hidden risks include:
- Forgery or Fraud
- Missed Taxes
- Undisclosed or Missing Heirs
- Incorrect Legal Descriptions
- Conveyance By a Minor
- Incorrect Indexing at the Courthouse
- Mental Incompetence of Grantors
- Missed Easements
What Is A Title Search and Examination?
At Midland Title Insurance Agency, we can help with the title search and exam. Many people are unaware of the process of a title search and some have never even heard of it. A title search is an in-depth search through all of the public records associated with a specific property to determine who actually owns the property and has the rights to sell it. The number one reason for a title search and exam is to find out if there are any issues or potential problems that would make buying or owning the property more of a hassle than a reward, such as a price you do not care to pay or a price that you cannot afford. A title search is very important as it:
- Looks for liens against the property, along with judgements against the owner, for which the property is collateral.
- Confirms if the seller has the legal right to sell the property to a new buyer.
- Shows if there are any unpaid back taxes on the property.
Sure, records are public, but that does not make it easy or guarantee that you will not miss something by accident. At Midland Title, we can make sure to take care of the title search and exam. We are able to access all public records like everyone else, but also, have access to a higher level of data that is certified and backed by the title plant ,which is a guarantee to quality. Lastly, if you would miss something as an individual, you are not covered, however, by having Midland Title do the title search and exam, if something is missed, you have legal protection.
Let Midland Title experts handle the problem at hand and take the worries off of you!
