Why\nYou Need Title Insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title insurance protects you from problems with the seller, like forgery of documents, fraud related to the execution of documents, a husband or wife trying to sell property where both of their names are on the title, undisclosed or missing heirs, conveyance by a minor, invalid will of the previous property owner, mental incompetence of a grantor and birth of heirs after the will has been probated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are also protected from problems with the property\nboundary lines, like the previous owner making improvements that encroach past\nthe property lines, violations of building restrictions by the previous owner and\nunrecorded easements established by use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you are protected from undisclosed\ninformation, like a lien against the property or money owed from court actions,\nfederal and state statutes, and taxes and assessments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
