Why title insurance

What title insurance actually covers

Title insurance is essential for both buyers and lenders, providing critical protection and peace of mind during real estate transactions. Here’s exactly what it covers, and why every Southwest Florida closing needs it.

Five things title insurance does for you

A one-time premium at closing buys protection that lasts as long as you own the property. Here’s what that covers.

Comprehensive title search

A thorough examination of public records uncovers judgments, liens, unpaid taxes, easements, and competing ownership claims, so they’re resolved before you close, not after.

Owner’s & Lender’s policies

An Owner’s Policy defends you against valid claims and covers legal fees. A Lender’s Policy protects the mortgage, and most lenders require one to fund.

Risk reduction

Unpaid bills, recording errors, missing signatures, hidden heir claims. Resolved during the search to deliver a clean title and prevent costly surprises later.

One-time cost

Paid once

No monthly premiums, no renewals. Title insurance is paid a single time at closing and protects you for the entire time you own the property.

Hidden problems

Undisclosed heirs, forged signatures, fraudulent deeds, records errors. Title insurance covers the hazards a search can’t always surface, for as long as you own the home.

Wire fraud protection

The fastest-growing real estate crime, and how we shut it down

Criminals impersonate title companies, send fake wire instructions, and divert closing funds that are often unrecoverable once gone. Every closing we handle moves through the ClosingLock secure portal. We never email wire instructions.

Protect yourself: confirm wire instructions by phone, verify every transaction promptly, and report anything suspicious to your bank immediately.
