Each title insurance policy is subject to specific terms, conditions and exclusions.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>How does title insurance differ from other insurance?<\/h4>\n<div>Insurance such as car, life, health, etc., protects against potential future events and is paid for with monthly or annual premiums. A title insurance policy insures against events that occurred in the past of the real estate property and the people who owned it, for a one-time premium paid at the close of the escrow.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>What does it cover?<\/h4>\n<div>Title insurance protects against claims from defects. Defects are things such as another person claiming an ownership interest, improperly recorded documents, fraud, forgery, liens, encroachments, easements and other items that are specified in the insurance policy.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Who needs it?<\/h4>\n<div>Purchasers and lenders need title insurance in order to be insured against various possible title defects. The buyer, seller and lender all benefit from issuance of title insurance.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>What is escrow?<\/h4>\n<div>Escrow refers to the process in which the funds of a transaction (such as the sale of a house) are held by a third party, often the title company or an attorney, pending the fulfillment of the transaction.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>What are the title insurance policy types?<\/h4>\n<div>The Owner\u2019s Policy insures the new owner\/home buyer, and a lender\u2019s policy insures the priority of the lender\u2019s security interest.<\/div>\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;
