Title Insurance : What does your Premium really pay for ?

An important part of title is its emphasis on risk elimination before insuring . This gives you , as the policyholder , the best possible chance for avoiding title claim and loss .
Title insuring begins with a search of public land records affecting the real estate concerned . An examination is conducted by the title agent or attorney on behalf of his underwriter to determine whether the property is insurable . The examination of evidence from a search is
intended to fully report all “ material objections ” to the title . Frequently , documents that don ’ t clearly transfer title are found in the “ chain ”, or history that is assembled from the records in a search . Here are some examples of documents that can present concerns :
• Deeds , wills and trusts that contain improper wording or incorrect names
• Outstanding mortgages and judgments , or a lien against the property because the seller has not paid his taxes
• Easements that allow constructions of a road or utility line
• Pending legal action against the property that could affect a purchaser
• Incorrect notary acknowledgments
Through the search and examination , title problems are disclosed so that they can be corrected whenever possible . However , even the most careful preventative work can not locate all hidden title hazards .
