What Title Insurance Covers
Title insurance protects against losses from title defects that existed BEFORE the policy was issued. Unlike other insurance (which covers future events), title insurance covers past events that may cause problems. One-time premium paid at closing. Covers: undisclosed liens, forged documents, fraud in prior transactions, errors in public records, disputes about boundary lines, and more.
