Frequently Asked Questions Answered By a Professional Title Company

Title insurance is a one-time policy you buy at closing to protect against past problems with a property’s title. These often include errors in public records, unpaid liens, fraud/forgery, or boundary disputes. Lenders usually require lender’s title insurance to protect the loan. While owner’s title insurance is optional, it protects your equity for as long as you own the home.

An owner’s policy typically covers unknown liens or judgments, recording mistakes, missing heirs, deed fraud/forgery, and certain survey or boundary issues. It does not cover problems created after you buy, including any new liens, normal wear/tear, or issues you agreed to at closing. Always take the time to fully review your specific title insurance policy terms.
Yes. Remember, your lender’s policy protects the bank, not you. In Virginia, an owner’s title insurance policy protects your equity and legal rights, pays covered legal defense costs, and stays in force as long as you own the property.
Your escrow (settlement) account holds earnest money and closing funds safely while we complete the title search and clear any issues. We provide verified wire instructions, coordinate payoffs, prepare ALTA statements, and disburse funds on closing day.

Commercial title insurance protects buyers/lenders of offices, retail, land, multifamily housing, schools, churches, gyms/day cares, and more against covered title defects that predate closing. Because commercial deals often involve multiple parcels, leases, and endorsements, connecting with a local commercial title insurance company helps keep due diligence and timelines on track.
