A question I get a lot is: What Does Title Insurance Protect Me From?<\/p>\n

By including title insurance <\/a>when purchasing property, your title insurer takes on accountability for legal expenses to defend your property title, should it ever be challenged.\u00a0 This is required on any purchase or refinance transaction.\u00a0 When you purchase, especially in Texas, it’s customary for the seller to pay for the owner’s policy.\u00a0 You, as the buyer, always pay the lender’s policy.\u00a0 Luckily this is the cheaper part of the policy.<\/p>\n

Many different occurrences can come into play to warrant the need for title insurance.<\/p>\n

The title company responsible <\/a>will then take on the legal expenses to defend the property for as long as you are in possession of an interest in the property under the title.<\/p>\n

If the defense is not successful, you will be reimbursed for any loss of value of the property.<\/p>\n

Common Things Title Insurance Covers:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

1. UNDISCLOSED HEIRS FORGED DEEDS, MORTGAGE, WILLS, RELEASES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS<\/p>\n

2. FALSE IMPRISONMENT OF THE TRUE LAND OWNER<\/p>\n

3. DEEDS BY MINORS<\/p>\n

4. DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY A REVOKED OR EXPIRED POWER OF ATTORNEY<\/p>\n

5. PROBATE MATTERS<\/p>\n

6. FRAUD<\/p>\n

7. DEEDS AND WILLS BY PERSON OF UNSOUND MIND<\/p>\n

8. CONVEYANCES BY UNDISCLOSED DIVORCED SPOUSES<\/p>\n

9. RIGHTS OF DIVORCED PARTIES<\/p>\n

10. ADVERSE POSSESSION<\/p>\n

11. DEFECTIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DUE TO IMPROPER OR EXPIRED NOTARIZATION<\/p>\n

12. FORFEITURES OF REAL PROPERTY DUE TO CRIMINAL ACTS<\/p>\n

13. MISTAKES AND OMISSIONS RESULTING IN IMPROPER ABSTRACTING<\/p>\n

14. ERRORS IN TAX RECORDS<\/p>\n

A title insurance policy takes the responsibility for legal expenses to the title company, rather than the property owner.<\/p>\n

Many different issues may arise that create a need for insurance.<\/p>\n

This insurance continues for as long you are in possession of the interest in the property under the title.<\/p>\n
