Frequently Asked Questions
Real Estate Title Service FAQs.
In real estate, “title service” most commonly refers to the services provided by a title company or closing attorney to facilitate the secure transfer of property and to issue title insurance.
What is a title?
In real estate, the title is the legal right to own, possess, and use the property. It’s often evidenced by a deed.
What is a title search (or title examination)?
It is a thorough examination of public records (deeds, mortgages, liens, judgments, tax records) to confirm the seller is the legal owner and to identify any “clouds” or defects on the title that must be cleared before the sale closes.
What is title insurance?
It is an insurance policy that protects you and/or your lender against financial loss from defects in the title that may have existed before you bought the property but were unknown at the time of closing (e.g., forgery, undisclosed heirs, prior unpaid liens).
What are “title service fees”?
These are fees paid at closing for services related to the property’s title, including the title search fee, the premium for title insurance, and often the escrow or closing fee charged by the title company.
What does the title company do at closing?
The title company (or closing attorney) acts as a neutral third party (the escrow agent). They review all closing documents, ensure all funds are properly disbursed (to the seller, lenders, and service providers), facilitate the signing of the deed and loan documents, and make sure the new deed is recorded with the county.
How is title insurance different from homeowner’s insurance?
Title insurance is a one-time fee paid at closing and protects against events that happened in the past (title defects).
Homeowner’s insurance is a recurring premium and protects against damage or loss to the property and contents from events that happen in the future (fire, theft, etc.).
