TITLE INSURANCE

A title is the evidence, of right, that a person has to the possession and ownership of land. It is possible that someone other than the owner has a legal right to the property. If that person can establish that right, they can make demands on the owner or claim the property outright. An Owner's Policy is designed to protect you from title defects that existed prior to the issue date of the policy. If a valid claim is filed, in addition to financial loss up to the face amount of the policy, your owner''s title policy covers the cost of legal defense.

Title Insurance protects against losses attributable to facts or circumstances that may have occurred in the past. The title report provides a full examination of the title to real estate before any transaction involving the real estate takes place or a title insurance policy is issued.

When a mortgage loan policy is issued, the lender is assured that the mortgage is a valid lien based on a valid deed. In addition, it insures the priority of the lien, and that no loss will occur as a result of lack of legal access and marketability of title. When title insurance is to be issued insuring the lien of a mortgage at the time of recording, the amount of the mortgage shall determine the title rate.

What Does it Cost?
Pennsylvania and New Jersey closely regulate rates. The one-time premium is directly related to the value of your home. In most cases, it is less expensive than your annual auto insurance. It is a one-time only expense that you pay when you purchase your home. However, it continues to provide complete coverage for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
