Frequently Asked Questions
What is title insurance?
Title insurance protects property buyers and mortgage lenders from financial loss due to defects in a property's title. This includes unknown liens, encumbrances, forgeries, or errors in public records. It is a one-time premium paid at closing.
Do I need both owner's and lender's title insurance?
The lender's policy is typically required by your mortgage company. The owner's policy is optional but highly recommended, as it protects your equity investment. When purchased simultaneously, there is usually a significant discount on the second policy.
How much does title insurance cost?
Title insurance premiums vary by state and property value, typically ranging from $500-$3,500 for a standard home purchase. Rates are usually $3.50-$7.00 per $1,000 of property value. Some states have regulated rates while others allow competition.
