Yes. In many cases, title insurance can be obtained as part of the closing package or as a separate policy for continued protection.
A title search is conducted by a title company or an attorney who reviews public records, deeds, liens, and related documents.
A title policy outlines covered defects and may include exclusions or endorsements. It does not guarantee against every possible claim, but provides substantial protection.
Common endorsements address issues like zoning, survey gaps, and heirs. Your attorney can explain which endorsements fit your transaction.
Liens can affect closing by delaying recording or increasing costs. They should be resolved or insured against before the transaction closes.
If a defect is found, we discuss remedies, such as lien payoff, curative deeds, or purchasing a policy that covers the issue.
