How does title insurance work?
Показать описание
What’s title insurance and why do you need it?
Having a property title means you own the property and can sell, rent, or transfer ownership of the property. Title insurance protects you against problems with a title when you buy property. Title insurance agents try to find problems with the title that need to be corrected before you buy property.
Is title insurance required?
It’s not required by law in Texas, but your lender will want you to buy a policy to protect their loan. And you’ll want to buy what’s known as an “owner policy” to protect yourself.
What does title insurance pay for?
When you pay for title insurance, you’re getting agents who will uncover possible problems with your property before you buy it. Then you’ll have the insurance if a problem comes up that wasn’t found before you closed.
What kind of problems can come up with titles?
Title insurance agents will look for possible problems with the title, including fraud or forgery of a previous deed (the legal document used to transfer the title to another owner), ownership issues with the current owner, and unpaid property taxes.
Are there different kinds of title insurance?
Yes, there are “loan policies” and “owner policies.” The loan policy protects the lender. The owner policy protects you. When you buy property or a home, you’ll buy your lender a loan policy and the seller will buy you an owner policy.
When do I get a title insurance policy?
You’ll sign all the paperwork when you meet with the title insurance agents at the title company office on your closing day. Title insurance agents operating in Texas are licensed by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).
Should I shop around for the best title insurance rate?
It’s not necessary because companies in Texas charge the same rate. TDI sets title insurance rates, and they apply to all companies. But you can shop for a title insurance company that has good customer reviews. You also might want to check their closing costs, which can vary.
