Why should you have title insurance?
Title insurance can protect and insure the homeowner and mortgage lender. Typically their are two title insurance policies issued at the time of a sale. One for the owner and one for the mortgage lender. The owner does not legally have to buy the owners policy but lenders will require a lenders policy to protect their interest in the property. The reason you have title insurance is to insure against loss resulting from title defects, whether these defects are known or unknown at the time of the sale or the refinance. The coverage is provided for both "on record" and "off record" issues, defects or problems. There is a long list of reasons for claims to be made. Misfiling, recording errors, procedural requirements, local requirements and many more. Please note title insurance does not cover future risks like most forms of insurance. Only risks existing at the time the policy was issued are covered.
