Complete Title Insurance Policy
Our title policies go through a vigorous search and examination process with th
e help of our professional staff. We offer two types of insurance policies, an owners and a mortgage policy. Before we issue any policy it becomes a report or what we call a commitment. This commitment states who the deed holder (owner) is, any outstanding liens, encumbrances and other defects which might affect the title of the property. This information is very important to you and will be used as a guideline to fulfill all the requirements to convey clear title. Upon completion of all requirements a closing will take place. After it closes, our final policy department will issue a title insurance policy. This policy sets out the new status of the title, which is insured. It will show the new ownership, if any, and incorporate all other changes which took place up to the date of closing. Separate policies are written to protect both the interests of the property owner and the lender. North Title Inc. insurance policies are a contract of "indemnity." The policy will protect you against any hidden title hazards for as long as you own the property. Remember, many things can go wrong during the title process which can affect clear title to the property, like clerical mistakes in the public records, previously undisclosed heirs with claims against the property, a forged deed that transfers no title to real estate and many more. We can help you fix past title defects and secure your most important investment for the future. TITLE SEARCHES: A title search is a very basic system of disclosing what's on record for a specific piece of property. It includes a complete check on the property to the present day or effective date. This type of service is used for informational purposes only. Please note, we can not insure on the examining work provided in this specific service. This search will provide you with current real estate property taxes, any special assessments and who the deed holder is to the property. Please do not try to use this information in place of a title policy. You are not receiving any title insurance and it holds no ground in the court of law.
