Important insurance

Next time someone asks you about the value of title insurance, you might want to throw this little tidbit at them: Title agents find and fix title problems before issuing title insurance in 25% of all residential transactions. This statistic, which represents as many as 1.5 million curative actions each year, comes form a recent survey of American Land Title Association members.

Of course, title insurance may also provide coverage for defects in title originating before the date of the policy but not discovered until after closing.
