What is Title Insurance?

Title insurance protects homeowners and lenders from losses caused by defects in a property’s ownership history. It ensures the title is clear, meaning there are no liens, judgments, or ownership disputes.

Typical coverage includes:

Unpaid property taxes or HOA fees.
Clerical or recording errors in public records.
Fraud or forgery on previous deeds.
Undisclosed heirs or boundary disputes.

There are two types of policies:

Owner’s Policy – Protects the buyer’s ownership rights.
Lender’s Policy – Protects the lender’s lien position.

What Are Closing Services?

Closing services cover all the behind-the-scenes details needed to finalize a real estate transaction. The title company or escrow officer coordinates these steps to ensure both buyer and seller meet all legal and financial obligations.

Closing services include:

Preparing the closing disclosure or settlement statement.
Coordinating document signings.
Handling wire transfers and distributing funds.
Recording the new deed with the county.
