Why Do I Need Owner's and Lender's Title Policies?


Real Estate Matters with Tim Bro

Why Do I Need Owner’s and Lender’s Title Policies?


A common question that buyers ask their real estate agents is, “Why do I need an owner’s title policy and a lender’s title policy?
                                                                                        
Insuring title begins with a search of public records to determine that title to the property is insurable – that, among other things includes:

·         Deeds contain no incorrect names or wording
·         Any outstanding mortgages, judgments, or liens against the property that will need to be paid at the close of escrow
·         Any pending legal actions against the property that could affect buyers
·         Any defects on the title that need to be addressed

Simply put, title insurance protects against financial loss from defects in title to real property – for mortgage lenders as well as buyers.
