Protecting You Against Hidden Risks.
Protection against loss from claims on real estate that cannot be
discovered by examination of the public records is the second part
of the twofold benefit which the Title Insurance provides.
For example, the title to the home which you have paid for - and to
which you have received a deed - could be threatened or lost by such
circumstances as a forgery, confusion due to similar names, or error
in the records. These contingencies will be covered in your policy
of title insurance.
How Does a Title Insurance Policy
Protect Against These Dangers?
If a claim is made against your title as covered by your policy, the
title protects you by:
|
• |
Defending your
title, in court if necessary, at our expense. |
|
• |
Bearing the cost
of settling the claim if it proves valid, in order to perfect your title and keep you in possession of your property. |
Summarizing, Title
Insurance Means This to You:
It is assurance that every possible cloud on the title to the land
you are buying - which can be discovered from the public records -
has been called to your attention so that such defects can be
corrected before you buy. And - It is insurance that, if any
undisclosed claim covered by your policy arises out of the past to
threaten your ownership of real estate, it will be disposed of, or
you will be reimbursed, exactly as your title insurance policy
provides. |
