Title review is the examination of public records to confirm ownership, liens, and encumbrances that could affect your transfer.
Title insurance safeguards buyers and lenders against losses from issues that surface after closing that were not found during the search.
A title search confirms who owns a property and identifies any claims. A title insurance policy provides financial protection against covered title defects for the insured party.
Key steps include ordering a comprehensive title search, reviewing recorded exceptions, resolving defects when possible, and selecting the appropriate title insurance policy for the transaction (owner’s policy for buyers, lender’s policy for lenders).
Glossary terms help buyers and sellers understand common phrases encountered in title work.
A title search is a review of public records to verify ownership and identify liens, judgments, and encumbrances that could affect transfer.

Title insurance protects the policyholder from covered title defects and related losses that could arise after purchase or financing. It is issued as a one-time premium policy at closing. Keep in mind that not all risks are covered; some exceptions may apply based on the policy terms and the specifics of the property.
While many purchases require title review and insurance, some cash transactions or transfers with clear titles may proceed with fewer formal steps. A title search and policy still provide valuable protection and clarity about encumbrances and ownership.
Typically the buyer pays for an owner’s title policy, while the lender requires a policy as part of the loan. The contract can allocate costs differently, so review the agreement to confirm who pays for each policy.
Title defects can result from liens, judgments, missing heirs, misindexed records, or errors in public records. Other issues include forged documents or undisclosed encumbrances that affect transfer.
Owner’s policy protects the homeowner against title defects; lender’s policy protects the lender’s interests and is typically required by lenders. Each policy covers different risks and has separate protections.
A standard title search often takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on county records and the complexity of the title. We can provide updates as the search progresses.
