Title review involves checking public records, surveys, and prior transfers to confirm clear ownership and identify potential clouds. It helps you understand risks before you commit to a transaction.
Title insurance protects against financial loss from defects that were not found during the review. It typically covers issues like undiscovered liens, competing claims, and clerical errors in records.
A title search can take from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the property’s history and the complexity of records. We coordinate with the relevant parties to keep closing on track.
Typically, the buyer pays for the standard owner’s title insurance and the lender may require a lender’s policy. In some transactions, the seller and buyer may negotiate who pays.
In many cases, title flaws can be cured through payoffs, agreements, or corrective deeds. Some issues require further legal action or policy coverage to resolve.
Escrow coordinates the transfer of funds and documents, holds funds until closing, and ensures all conditions are met for a smooth transaction.
A title search can affect closing timelines if issues arise that require cure, but proactive review and timely communication help minimize delays.
Even when title is clear, obtaining title insurance is often recommended for additional protection against future claims or clerical errors.
Fees vary by transaction size and policy type. We provide clear quotes and explain what each charge covers before you proceed.
