What are the Policy Types?
A standard policy insures the new owner/home buyer, and a lender’s policy insures the priority of the lender’s security interest. There are two basic kinds of title insurance:
- Lender or mortgagee protection
- Owner’s coverage
Most lenders require mortgagee title insurance as security for their investment in real estate, just as they may call for fire insurance and other types of coverage as investor protection. When title insurance is provided, lenders are willing to make mortgage money available in distant locales where they know little about the market.
Owner’s title insurance lasts as long as you, the policyholder – or your heirs – have an interest in the insured property. This may even be after you have sold the property.
