Protect Your Interests with Title insurance

There’s no question that any real estate purchase represents a significant investment. Whether you intend to sell in a few years, or hope to make it your lifelong home, the risks of damages from title disputes is very real. While more comprehensive land records systems are being investigated and implemented in the US, the fact is that the existing process for recording titles and transferring ownership has some deficiencies and shortcomings. Defects in the title could lead to financial damages (especially in the cases of unresolved liens and mortgages), inability to sell or otherwise transfer the property, or even outright loss of the property in question. While a title search is usually exhaustive, the potential damages from title defects can be devastating; title insurance is the best form of protection of your investment.
