The following are some of the reasons title insurance is required:

• Mechanics liens that have not yet been added to the title
• Forgery, fraud, or misrepresentation of material conditions on the title
• Succession issues including undisclosed/missing heirs, improper interpretation of a will or trust, and improperly probated estates
• Inadequate property and land surveys
• Incorrect legal descriptions
• Improper delivery of deeds
• Claims against property not yet satisfied which do not show up on record
• Incorrect indexing
• Clerical errors
• Other errors and omissions

A title insurance policy insures the purchaser of the property that the title is free from all defects, liens, and encumbrances. The liability limit for the policy is usually the price paid for the property. Premium can be paid for by the seller or buyer and is usually covered as part of the purchase and sale agreement. Our firm can provide information as to what is required and what rights you have prior to signing the purchase and sale agreement.
