<strong>Title</strong> insurance can come in the form<br />
of residential title insurance or<br />
commercial title insurance, and it<br />
would apply to the house and lot<br />
which a homeowner buys, or the<br />
business property that a company<br />
might purchase. Apart from that<br />
distinction, there are also two types of<br />
title insurance, offering protection for<br />
each of the two parties in any kind of<br />
real estate transaction, the lender and<br />
the buyer.<br />
Both the mortgage holder and the<br />
prospective new homeowner would<br />
need protection against any claims<br />
which might arise from unexpected<br />
sources, as well as certain obstacles<br />
which may arise during the closing<br />
process. In any case, the whole point<br />
of purchasing insurance from a title<br />
company is to ensure that the party<br />
buying the insurance does not suffer<br />
serious financial laws if some claim<br />
against the property were to be<br />
upheld.chapter 1
TITLE INSURANCE<br />

PROTECTS<br />
Most people have heard horror stories about someone<br />
who purchased property in good faith, only to find that<br />
after the purchase, a previously unknown owner surfaced<br />
with a valid claim on the property. In such a case, the<br />
courts must decide the validity of the claim, and award<br />
ownership to whomever it determines to be the rightful<br />
owner. While this may be the most common scenario<br />
which title insurance protects against, it’s not the only<br />
kind of protection provided by a good title insurance<br />
policy. Here are some other scenarios that it defends<br />
against:<br />
improper filing or recording of title, somewhere in the<br />
history of the property<br />
fraudulent or inaccurate title<br />
abandonment of the transaction during closing (lenders<br />
title insurance)<br />
problems with financing during closing<br />
