What is Title Insurance and Why do I need it?Title Insurance comes in two formsTitle insurance companies provide The Two Policies Issued are: A Lenders policy - purchased by the buyer An American Land Title Association (ALTA) policy is a title insurance policy that insures against losses that can be suffered in the transfer of title through the purchase of a property. The most basic purpose of an ALTA policy is to guarantee that the lender has a valid lien that is enforceable. An ALTA policy is required by most institutional lenders in order to protect their interests against loss. The lender's policy protects the lender's interest in the property up to the face amount of the loan. It covers errors made in connection with the title search conducted for the specific transaction and any prior defects in title. The lender's policy is purchased by the buyer and is usually required as a condition of the loan. However, the lender's policy does not protect the buyer from any title claims. The policy remains in effect for the period of the loan, so if the property is sold or refinanced, a new lender's policy likely will be required Basic Lender's Title Policy Coverage:

The owner's policy is purchased by the seller. Unlike the lender's policy, however, the policy remains in effect indefinitely (even if the property is refinanced or sold).
