Title insurance helps protect that ownership from unexpected legal or financial issues after closing.

What Is Title Insurance?

Title insurance is a one-time insurance policy that protects your ownership of a property from past issues tied to the title. Even with a thorough title search, certain problems can remain hidden and surface later. Unlike home insurance, which protects against future damage, title insurance protects against pre-existing title defects — for as long as you own the property.

Who Is Protected by Title Insurance?

Title insurance can protect:

  • Home buyers (owner’s policy)
  • Mortgage lenders (lender’s policy)
  • Or both

Coverage applies to resale homes, new builds, condos, and vacation properties.

Is Title Insurance Required?

If you’re buying with a mortgage, lenders require title insurance to protect the loan amount. This lender’s policy remains active until the mortgage is fully paid off. Owner’s title insurance is optional but strongly recommended. It protects you — not the lender — and is paid once at closing, with no ongoing premiums.

If you’re unsure about title insurance or how it fits into your purchase, I’d be happy to walk you through your options and explain what’s right for your situation.

When Does Title Insurance End?

Understanding the duration of your title insurance helps you stay protected when it matters most.

Quick Tips For Buyers

  • Ask your lawyer about owner and lender policies
  • Review covered and excluded risks carefully
  • Protects ownership rights, not physical damage

If you’re exploring distressed properties or foreclosure opportunities, understanding title risks is especially important.

Coverage & Timing

  • Owner’s policy starts at closing and lasts as long as you own the property
  • Lender’s policy: Ends once the mortgage is fully paid
  • Payment: One-time cost paid at closing

Why It Matters

Knowing how long each policy lasts helps protect you from unexpected issues. The lender’s policy safeguards the mortgage, while the owner’s policy protects your ownership for as long as you own the property. If a covered title issue arises, the policy pays legal fees and expenses to defend your title, providing long-term peace of mind.
