What are the Benefits to Title Insurance?

For lenders, a mortgagee title insurance policy protects the lender from a loss incurred, up to the loan amount, in financing a piece of real estate resulting from an invalid or inferior lien position. A mortgagee title insurance policy allows the lender to originate real estate loans without having to have a real estate attorney review each loan. For the homeowner, an owner’s title insurance policy protects the owner from a loss, up to the policy limit, resulting from a future claim against their ownership of the property.
