Title review is the process of examining public records to confirm ownership and identify potential issues. Title insurance provides ongoing protection against covered defects that could affect ownership after closing.
Key elements include a thorough title search, review of public and private records, curative steps to clear defects, and issuing a title commitment along with an insurance policy.
