Title
Insurance
Title insurance provides protection against loss or damage due to title
defects. The policy is
backed by the title insurance underwriter and serves as a written
guarantee that the underwriter will undertake, at its own expense, the
defense of title in all legal actions or proceedings alleging the title
to be other than as insured. A
policy of title insurance protects against future losses arising out of
events that may have happened in the past.
This includes mistakes in recording of legal documents, forged
documents, undisclosed or missing heirs, liens, and fraud.
