Title insurance is an insured statement of the condition of your "title" or ownership rights to a certain piece of property. An owner's title insurance policy describes your property in detail and states what limitations, if any, there are to your ownership. (For example, you may take ownership subject to existing liens or encumbrances. Or easements may have been granted to utility companies or adjacent property owners.) Most importantly, an owner's title insurance policy guarantees that the property you are purchasing is free of undisclosed liens, confusion in the rights or ownership, and other clouds on title. In short, it guarantees that you own the property for which you bargained. Before an owner's policy is issued, the title company or one of its agents conducts a search of public records, maps, and documents. The records trace back to colonial estates, pioneer homesteads, or Spanish land grants, and forward to the current owner. Only after collecting, examining, and interpreting appropriate records is a policy issued insuring the condition of the title.
