FAQs
What is title insurance?
+
-
Title insurance is an insurance policy covering the insured party (owner and/or lender) against many types of property loss caused by liens, judgments, undisclosed heirs, document forgery, boundary disputes and easements up to the coverage amount of the policy coverage. The title company reviews all recorded documents related to the property and ensures requirements, related to the ownership of the property, are cleared. Based on the completion of the research and requirements, the insurance company agrees to guarantee clear title to the subject property and provide a title insurance policy.
What are the benefits of title insurance?
+
-
For lenders, a mortgagee title insurance policy protects the lender from a loss incurred, up to the loan amount, in financing a piece of real estate resulting from an invalid or inferior lien position. A mortgagee title insurance policy allows the lender to originate real estate loans without needing a real estate attorney to review each loan. For the homeowner, an owner’s title insurance policy protects the owner from a loss, up to the policy limit, resulting from a future claim against their ownership of the property.
When can I use Preserve Title Company?
+
-
There are several ways to use Preserve Title Company.
When selling property through a real estate agent, instruct the agent to use Preserve Title Company as your closing agent.
When selling a property on your own, include Preserve Title Company as the closing agent on your contract.

What's the difference between Title Insurance (Mortgagee Title) and Owner’s Title Insurance?
+
-
Mortgagee Title Insurance is taken in the loan amount and protects the lender’s lien. It is important to note the policy is specific to each loan. If you refinance, pay off or obtain a new loan, a new policy is required. An Owner's Title Insurance policy is purchased at the time a property is purchased and protects you, the buyer. This insurance policy remains in effect until you sell the property.
