ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

1. What does title insurance protect me from?

Monetary loss. Loss that's caused by defects or encumbrances on your title to the land that aren't shown or discussed in your title policy.

2. Is an attorney's opinion just as good as title insurance?

No. Title insurance offers you more protection, insuring you against unrecorded documents, fraud, questions of survey, mechanics liens, and rights and claims of parties in possession.

3. How much does an owner's policy cost?

Usually only $100-$200 more than the lender's policy required on new mortgages. If you are buying on a contract for deed, or assuming a mortgage, you'll want to check Absolute's rate schedule or contact one of our representatives for a quote.

4. How long does my policy protect me?

An owner's policy protects the named owners as long as that owner remains in title in the manner obtained.
