What is title insurance

Title insurance protects against financial losses from defects or unresolved issues in a property’s history – its ‘title,’ including ownership, liens, and other claims. It safeguards buyers and lenders from problems like undisclosed liens, ownership disputes, or public record errors. Unlike most insurance, it covers past issues rather than future events, and it’s typically a one-time payment at closing.

What does "title" mean?

‘Title’ has two meanings in real estate. For one, it refers to current ownership – ‘who’s on title’ simply means ‘who owns the property.’ For another, it refers to a property’s history of owners, liens, and claims. A ‘clear title’ means the current owner has full, undisputed ownership, free from any claims tied to previous owners.
