Anyone who owns real property and resides on that property is eligible for "homestead title". There are tax benefits to homesteading as well as certain protective benefits from lien holders who may seek to acquire the property through court action. As these benefits vary from state to state, it would be wise to consult your local tax collectors office.

Do all title companies sell title insurance?
Let's start with defining title COMPANY vs title AGENCY. A title company is the actual company underwriting and insuring the title policy. Title companies then have agents who sell and negotiate title products in their behalf (think of it as equal to Allstate (the company) having the local Allstate agent) At this point in time, most title companies are also in the business of selling title products directly and in competition with their agents. However, there are more direct title agencies to obtain title insurance services from at a local level than title companies. So, the answer is yes, title companies can also be SELLING title services and products in addition to underwriting and insuring title insurance policies.

How does title insurance affect the seller who had no title insurance?
A seller with no title insurance:If a person has offered their property for sale and accepted an offer to purchase generally the intelligent buyer's attorney will have the title to the property examined by a professional title examiner. If the title exam reveals a defect in the title and the seller was not covered by a title insurance policy then the seller must pay to have the defect resolved. Title defects can be very costly to resolve.Generally, if the seller chooses not to have the defect resolved the buyer can back out of the sale and get their deposit back. However, the seller has been put on notice regarding the defect.The new owner's title insurance:The new title insurance does NOT affect the seller in any way. Coverage is given only to the new owner under the Owner's Policy. If the seller cannot clear the defects and the buyer still wants to purchase the property, the issuing Title Agency has the option of insuring the title, but excepting the defects from coverage to the new owner. Thereby, the risk is assumed by the buyer, not by the Title Agency.
