Yes, a licensed title producer or an attorney can explain the concept of title insurance which is relatively simple:
1. A Lender's or Mortgage Policy covers the lender's mortgage interest in the property for the life of their loan against title defects at the time the mortgage is taken. The only way a Lender's coverage can be transferred to a new mortgage holder if the loan is sold, is if the lender takes out Secondary Mortgage Market coverage at the time the new mortgage was made by the borrower.
2. An Owner's Policy covers the new owner against PRIOR defects in the title. It is good for as long as the owner is vested in the property whether it be 5 years or 50 years, but does not cover any defects made by the new owner while in possession. An Owner's Policy is NOT transferrable.
