What Does Title Insurance Actually Cover?
It’s your legal safety net — here’s how it works.
Title insurance is designed to protect you from surprises tied to a property’s past — the stuff that can jump out after the deal is done. Here’s what it covers:
- Past Ownership Disputes
If someone pops up claiming they have ownership rights to your property, title insurance steps in to shield you. - Unknown Liens, Judgments, or Unpaid Taxes
Imagine finding out your new property comes with unpaid debts you didn’t rack up. Title insurance covers those hidden financial burdens. - Survey Errors or Boundary Disputes
Maybe the fence is in the wrong place, or a neighbor claims part of your yard. Title insurance helps sort it out. - Legal Defects Not Uncovered in Initial Searches
Even the best title search can miss something. Title insurance has your back if issues surface later.

We make it easy, clear, and thorough.
We know title insurance sounds dry, but we make the process smooth, transparent, and stress-free:

We dig deep into public records, past transactions, court filings, and more to uncover any red flags. - Risk Assessment
We evaluate the specific risks tied to your property and flag anything that needs attention. - Coordinate Coverage
We help you secure the right policy — tailored to your needs, not some generic off-the-shelf product. - Plain-Language Explanation
No legalese here. We break down your coverage in clear, simple terms so you know exactly what’s protected.

Did You Know? Quick Title Insurance Facts
Let’s clear up some common misconceptions:
- Title Issues Can Surface Years Later
Even long after closing, hidden issues can show up. Title insurance protects you well into the future. - Without Title Insurance, You Could Be Personally Liable
If old claims surface, you might have to cover them out of pocket. Title insurance takes that burden off you. - Lender’s Insurance Isn’t Enough
Most lenders require insurance to protect their interest, but that doesn’t cover you as the owner. Owner’s title insurance is critical for your protection.
