Selecting a Title Agency
The choice is yours! Each lender will typically require a mortgagee title policy covering the outstanding balance on the mortgage to be paid by you. Thus you, the consumer, should inform your lender, buyer or seller that Central Land will act as title agent in order to eliminate frustration and inefficiencies caused by unnecessary third parties to a transaction.
Why should you purchase an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance?
Title insurance was established to protect owners and lenders against the hidden hazards of real estate ownership: forgeries; faulty surveys; hidden liens; conveyances by a minor or mentally incompetent person; the false representation of a married person as being single; and many other title defects. Even the most complete search of records may not reveal them all. Hidden hazards can arise after closing, resulting in unpleasant and costly surprises. The title insurer will pay for defending against an attack on the title as insured, and will either perfect the title or pay valid claims.
Your home, investment property, or new office building is typically the largest single investment you will ever make and you will need to protect your equity by purchasing an Owner’s Policy. Depending on local practices and state law where the property is located, you may pay an additional premium for an Owner’s Policy. The premium for title insurance is completely different than casualty insurance. The Owner’s Policy is paid with a one-time premium, typically paid at Closing. An Owner’s Title Insurance Policy will last well past the point in which you sell the Property in the event a subsequent Purchaser challenges the marketability of your title and the deed you provided.
