This fall, as families come together and the season settles in, it’s the perfect time to remind homebuyers about protecting their largest investment. Buying your first home—or your next home—is exciting, but even the smoothest transactions can bring unwelcome surprises. Imagine moving in, ready to enjoy your new space, only to discover:
● A neighbor’s fence or shed is partially on your property.
● A relative of a former owner claims ownership rights.
● An unexpected property tax bill arrives.
● A hidden mortgage or lien appears after closing.
Owner’s title insurance protects you from these issues (and more) so you can focus on enjoying your home this season.
4 Ways Title Insurance Helps:
- Property Boundaries
Disputes over fences, sheds, or driveways can be costly. Title insurance protects your rights and provides legal support. - Ownership Claims
Heirs or former owners may challenge your ownership. An owner’s policy defends you against these unexpected claims. - Unpaid Taxes or Fees
Errors in tax records can leave you paying bills that aren’t yours. Title insurance ensures you’re not responsible for past mistakes. - Hidden Liens or Mortgages
Unrecorded mortgages or liens can appear after closing. Owner’s title insurance covers these hidden financial obligations.
Even with careful planning—and a thorough title search to confirm you’re clear to close—unexpected issues can still arise. Owner’s title insurance provides an extra layer of protection, giving you peace of mind for as long as you own your home.
