What is title insurance?
Title Insurance is an insurance policy that protects the buyer against risks that can go undiscovered by a title search. These risks, sometimes called ‘hidden defects,” might not show up until many years later. A few examples:
  • A forged signature of a deed
  • Impersonation of the real owner
  • Mistakes of others or changes in the interpretation of wills or other legal documents
  • Deeds delivered without consent of the grantor
  • Undisclosed or missing years
  • Deeds and mortgages signed by persons of unsound mind, minors or by persons supposedly single but actually married.
With First American Title Company, even if these hidden defects occur, you and your property will be protected.
