Your closing agent reviews public records to see if there are problems or defects that could cause you legal issues.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Title Insurance?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re buying a home, title insurance is a policy that protects your investment and property rights.<\/p>\n<h3>The FAQs of Title Insurance for Homebuyers<\/h3>\n<p>There are two different types of title insurance: owner\u2019s policy and lender\u2019s policy.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>An owner\u2019s policy<\/strong> protects your property rights for as long as you or your heirs own the home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A lender\u2019s policy<\/strong> is usually required by the lender and protects only the lender\u2019s financial interests. The buyer typically pays for this policy, but this varies depending on geography. We recommend you ask an ALTA member how it\u2019s handled in your area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Why Should I Purchase Owner&#8217;s Title Insurance?<\/h3>\n<p>Purchasing owner\u2019s title insurance is a smart decision because it\u2019s the best way to protect your property from future legal claims.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does Owner&#8217;s Title Insurance Cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The one-time payment for owner\u2019s title insurance is low relative to the value of your home. The typical owner\u2019s title insurance policy costs around 0.5% of the home\u2019s purchase price.<\/p>\n<h3>How Long am I Covered?<\/h3>\n<p>Your owner\u2019s insurance policy lasts as long as you or your heirs own your property. Your life will change over time, but your peace of mind never will.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happens at Settlement?<\/h3>\n<p>You sign the legal documents and receive the keys to your home.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=&#8221;Sidebar&#8221;
