Home buyers are often perplexed as to what owner’s title insurance is? The most common question asked by clients is, “Is it the same as title insurance?” Usually, there is confusion surrounding title insurance because lenders require title insurance on any property with a mortgage. However, owner’s title insurance is a separate policy. Owner’s title insurance provides protection to the homeowner if someone sues and says they have a claim against the home from before the homeowner purchased it.
When you purchase a home, you receive a document most often called a deed, which shows the seller transferred their legal ownership, or “title” to their home, to you, the home buyer. Title insurance can protect you if someone later sues and says they have a claim against the home from before you purchased it. Common claims come from a previous owner’s failure to pay taxes or from contractors who say they were not paid for work done on the home before you purchased it.
As I mentioned earlier, lenders require you to purchase a lender’s title insurance policy, which protects the amount they lend. It’s prudent to buy an owner’s title insurance policy, which can help protect your financial investment in the home.
You can usually shop for your title insurance provider separately from your mortgage. If you shop for title insurance, you may be able to save money. If you choose to buy owner’s title insurance, the total cost will usually be lower if you use the same provider for both the lender’s policy and the owner’s policy, compared to buying them separately.
I built my law practice on the premise of being a life raft in a sea of sharks. I want to be an advocate for those that have been wronged and are too intimidated to seek help. My firm is here to explore your options, guide you through your legal journey, and give you that safe space to ask questions! There’s no such thing as a stupid question…Only the ones you don’t ask. So, my question to my clients is not “do you have any questions?” But rather “what questions do you have?”
