Title Insurance Policies
What are Title Insurance Policies - Do
You Need Title Insurance?
To understand title policy insurance in America, searches
begin with when the United States government stole the
land, I mean claimed it -- from the U. S. patent -- and moVE
forward from that point.
Because humans are involved in recording deed transfers
and plotting land parcels, a lot can go wrong. You want title
insurance because it will protect you against defects and
human error.
Property Searches and Public Records
Property transfers were first recorded alphabetically in
separate Grantor and Grantee books.
The books are heavy to lift and dusty.
County records are often maintained at local courthouses or
the Clerk of Registrars.
Today, most records are stored on the computer.
Division of Land
Early deeds involved large chunks of land known as
Townships.
Townships contain 36 sections and are six miles by six
miles.
Sections measure one mile by one mile and contain 640
acres.
Half of a section is 320 acres.
1/4 of a section is 160 acres.
1/4 section of 1/4 section is 40 acres.
An acre is 43,560 square feet
Title Search Basics
Title searches start with the most recent deed, searching the
grantee's name (the person now holding title) backwards in
time, until the deed when the grantee acquired the property
is located.
That grantor's name is then searched backwards in time in
the grantee's book to find when the grantor acquired title as
a grantee.
This process continues, and over time, the property
description involves larger and larger parcels of land.
Eventually, the searcher finds the U. S. Patent.
Other Factors Affecting Title
Deeds establish chain-of-title, but sometimes those chains
are broken. In addition, title searchers also look for
reconveyances (proof that the encumbrances are paid off),
and they look for easements, rights-of-way, CC&Rs, other
elements affecting title to the property. Here are more
records that are searched to piece title together:
Marriage records
Death certificates
Tax sales
Title Insurance Coverage
Depending on the title company, consumers can choose
among a variety of options, but the top three choices are
Owners, Lender's and Extended Coverage.
Basic Owner's Title Policy Coverage:
Clear title to the property
Incorrect signatures on documents
Forgery, fraud
Defective recordation
Restrictive covenants
Encumbrances or judgments
Basic Lender's Title Policy Coverage:
Mechanic's liens and unrecorded liens
Unrecorded easements and access rights
Defects and other unrecorded documents
Extended Owner's Coverage
Building permit violations from previous owners
Subdivision maps
Covenant violations from previous owners
Living trusts
Structure damage from mineral extractions
Variety of encroachments and forgeries after title insurance
is issued
Who Pays For Title Policy Insurance?
This depends on your local custom.
It can differ from county to county, but it is also negotiable in
the purchase offer.
Sometimes sellers and buyers split the fee for the owner's
policy.
Typically, the buyer pays for the lender's coverage.
How Long Are Title Policies Good For?
HOW LONG A TITLE POLICIES GOOD FOR?
Forever, theoretically. If you are planning to resell the
property within a couple years, ask your title company about
"binder" coverage. Most companies will sell you a binder
policy for 10% more. A binder is good for two years, often
can be extended beyond that time, and the fee charged for
the new buyer's policy will be the difference between what
you bought the property for and the price at which it sold. In
other words, you will get a credit for the amount of coverage
you purchased under your own Owner's Title policy.
HOW OFTEN ARE TITLE INSURANCE POLICY PREMIUMS
PAID?
Once. The fee is due when you buy. You will never pay it
again. Title policy insurance is the best insurance policy you
can ever buy.
What You Need to Know About Your Title
Insurance Company
Your Title Insurance Company Will Make Sure You Keep Your
Home
Purchasing your home is an important decision. But how does
one know that the property they purchased has a clear title?
Because unknown problems can be hidden in the history of a
property's title, homeowners pay a title insurance company for
title insurance.
Title insurance companies provide title insurance. Title
insurance is an insurance policy that guarantees the property
title is free from the problems of hidden liens and claims. The
title insurance company searches public records for the
property to make sure there are no problems in the title's
ownership and history. The fee for title insurance is usually
included in the itemization of closing costs from the lender and
is a one-time fee. Possible hidden title problems your title
insurance company may find can include:
Errors or omissions in deeds
Mistakes in examining records
Forgery
Undisclosed heirs
Liens for unpaid taxes
Liens by contractors
Title insurance pays for title companies to search for problems
in a property's title by examining public records.
Title insurance companies routinely search public records for:
Deeds
Mortgages
Wills
Divorce Decrees
Court Judgements
Tax Records
Liens
Claims
By searching the history of the property's title, the title
insurance company can assure the new owner of clear
ownership to their new property and that no outstanding debts
or unknown ownership issues are associated with their new
home.
In addition, besides securing a good search on a property's
title, the title insurance company will insure the property owner
as long as s/he owns the property. Therefore, if a problem
arises at a later date, the title insurance policy will cover legal
fees in defense of a claim against the property that is covered
under the title policy.
Think you have to settle for whatever title insurance company
your lender puts in your closing papers? Not true! You have the
right to choose your title insurance company. Take a look at

to shop around and save when purchasing your next property's
