Popular Questions
What does a title company do?
A title company verifies property ownership, conducts a title search, holds funds in escrow, coordinates closing, and issues title insurance policies to protect buyers and lenders.
What is a title search?
A title search is a review of public records to verify the legal owner of a property and identify any liens, easements, judgments, or other issues that could affect ownership.
What is title insurance?
Title insurance is a one-time premium policy that protects buyers and lenders from financial loss caused by title defects, ownership disputes, or errors in public records discovered after closing.
How does escrow work?
In real estate, escrow refers to a neutral arrangement where a title company holds funds and documents until all conditions of the sale are met and the transaction can close.
What happens at closing?
At closing, all parties sign the required documents, funds are transferred and disbursed, the deed is recorded, and ownership officially transfers to the buyer.
What documents may need notarization?
Real estate documents that typically require notarization include deeds, affidavits, power of attorney forms, and loan documents. A notary confirms the identity of signers and authenticates signatures.
