What Is Mortgage Title Insurance?
By Peter Kenny
If you are thinking of buying your own home, you will hear the words title somewhere along the process. Many consumers are not exactly sure what this is.
For the most part, title is almost always required by the lender. This is used to protect the lender against loss resulting from legal claims by others against your new home. In some states, lawyers will offer as a portion of their services in examining the home's title and providing a title opinion as to whether it is clear or not. The attorney's fee may include the title premium or in some cases it may not. In other states, a title company or title agent directly provides the insurance.
It is important for consumers to understand that the lenders policy does not protect the consumer. The same is true with the prior owners policy; it does not protect you. When you need to protect yourself against claims by others against your new home, you will need what it is called an owner's policy. The truth is should a claim occur, it can be financially devastating to the homeowner who is uninsured.
It is good to keep in mind that if you buy an owner's policy, it is much less expensive if you buy it at the same time and with the same insurer as the lender's policy.
Consumers should also know that the home seller may not require, as a condition of the sale, for you to purchase from any particular title company. The mortgage lender will, however, require that the is from a company that is acceptable and reliable. As the homebuyer, you can choose a company that meets the lenders standards.
Generally speaking, a few weeks before the closing of the escrow, the company will issue what is called a "Commitment to Insure" or preliminary report or "binder" containing a summary of any defects in the title which have been identified during the title search. There may also be listed any exceptions from the policys coverage. The commitment to insure is sent to the mortgage lender for use until

the title policy is issued at or after the closing.
If you wish, you may have a copy sent to you or to your lawyer, so that you can examine it and object if need be to the contents.
Consumers should compare rates between different title companies. This can result in big savings. Make sure you ask about the services and limitations under each policy so that you can decide whether coverage purchased at a higher rate may be better for your needs.
In many states, premium rates are dictated by the state and those rates may not be negotiable. If you are buying a home which has changed hands within the last several years, ask your title company about a "reissue rate." This can be much less expensive.
When purchasing a brand new home, make sure that your covers claims by contractors. These claims are known as "mechanic liens".
Mortgage lenders or title companies will very often want a survey done in order to mark the boundaries of the property. A survey is simply a drawing of the property that details the perimeter boundaries and marks the location of the home and any other improvements that might be on the land.
You might be able to save some money if a past survey is available and no changes have been made to the property in the interim. You should check with your lender or company on whether an updated survey will be acceptable. |
