Our Attorneys take a 60 seconds to touch on some important issues to consider

Ralph A. Cantafio, Esq. "What is title insurance?"

Title insurance protects your title to property by claims that occur after you close. Prior to closing, the buyer will contact a title company. The title company issues a title commitment. That commitment will identify the property and state what the policy will insure and - just as importantly - the exclusions (things the title company will not insure). It is these exclusions/exceptions to title which require close scrutiny prior to closing. At closing, the title company will issue your title insurance and should anyone make a claim as to the property you own, your title insurance company will defend that claim.
