What Is The Intention Of The Title Insurance Policy?

Title insurance guards you against financial losses due to errors in title to real property. Similar to fire insurance, it protects the owner or the lender from land claims. Title insurance was first established in Pennsylvania in 1850 to cover buyers and lenders from faulty property rights. It shall protect against a claim that challenges the title as insured or reimburses the insured for the real monetary loss suffered up to the dollar sum of insurance given by the policy.

What's the Escrow Agent?

Who accounts for the risk of closing?

Buyers and sellers each have different closing costs for their deal. The contract language typically dictates who pays for what expenses, such as title insurance, lien search, title search, and sales tax, are incurred. Buyers typically pay for their loan-related expenses with the exception of certain VA or FHA loans. Regions within each state usually have established "customs" for cost allocations, but buyers and sellers should not assume anything and carefully read the contract.
