Title insurance protects against losses from defects in the title that were not found in the public record. It is important because it provides financial protection for both the buyer and the lender. Understanding what the policy covers helps you assess risk and make informed decisions at closing.
In California, closing costs are typically shared between the buyer and the seller, with specific allocations outlined in the purchase agreement. Buyers often pay for the lender’s title policy and escrow fees, while sellers may cover the seller’s disclosures and transfer taxes. Your agreement can adjust these allocations based on negotiation.
Buyers and sellers must comply with disclosures required by law, including property defects, known issues, and any environmental or safety concerns. California also requires specific disclosures for certain property types and scenarios. A thorough review helps ensure these disclosures are complete and accurate before closing.
Bring government-issued ID, the signed purchase agreement, any loan information, recent tax statements, and any relevant disclosures or reports. Having these documents ready helps your initial consultation move quickly and efficiently.
