What Does Title Insurance Protect You From?

There are few things in life more important than protecting your home. Remember that the best title examination or search cannot protect your equity and home from matters not appearing in public records. However, title insurance can protect you from:

• Documents executed under false, revoked or expired power of attorney
• False impersonation of the true land owner
• Undisclosed heirs
• Improperly recorded legal documents
• Forgery or fraud
• Unpaid liens not disclosed by public records
• Defective recording of documents
• Certain undisclosed easements
• Invalid acknowledgments due to improper notarization
• Clerical errors
• Boundary disputes
• Mistakes in public records
• Unknown title defects
