Generally, the title examination isn't ordered until there has been mortgage commitment. The reason is that people (buyers) don't want to pay for a title examination if the mortgage isn't approved. However, some lenders give a preliminary commitment that depends on the title being free of defects. In that case they want the title report a couple of weeks before the closing is scheduled.

Do you need a title company to submitt a title search to apply for a deed?
Most lenders require a title search before they grant a loan for a mortgage. If you are purchasing land and not borrowing the money to pay for it then before you pay over the purchase price you should have the title examined by an attorney or title company. That is the only way to make sure you will be acquiring full title to the property that is free & clear of any other claims.
If you get a title comittment do you also need title insurance or does title comittment mean you get title insurance also?
A title commitment is just what it is. It's a commitment. Meaning as long as all of the conditions are met on that commitment, after closing, title insurance will be issued. A commitment is not considered insurance. Your title is not insured until after closing when the new deed and/or mortgage has been recorded. At that point, the title company issues insurance. If you are buying a new home and depending on where you are, you should receive your title policy about 60 days after closing along with either the original or a copy of your deed.

What is the difference between a Title policy and a Title Commitment?
A Title Commitment is a result of a title search of the public records. It carries no liability and does not insure the addressee of the accuracy of the information. A Title Commitment is written in anticipation of a future Title Insurance Policy. A Title insurance policy insures someone or some entity against a possible loss. Example: John Smith purchases a property and he has title insurance and the policy is dated Jan 2, 2008. John Smith insured by the title insurer that he has free and clear title subject to the exceptions in his title policy. TitleExaminer237 http://sites.google.com/site/michigantitleexaminerportal/

Can a bank give a mortgage commitment for a purchase of a home if the title to the home is not cleared?
Most banks will give potential borrowers a loan commitment, even if the title is not clear because the banks reserve the right to deny final approval and funding of the loan if the title is not cleared by the time of the closing. A loan commitment does not mean much else than that the bank is willing to lend money to the borrowers based on their credit history and financial status -- not that the home is ready to be transferred and the bank will participate in it.
