Title insurance protects you against issues with the ownership of a property that may have occurred before your purchase. These issues can include:
Unpaid property taxes
Fraud or forgery in previous documentation
Claims from a spouse or unknown heir who may assert ownership
At Landmark Title, we perform a thorough title examination to ensure you receive clear and marketable title—providing peace of mind and legal protection.
A full title examination involves carefully reviewing the property’s history to identify any existing liens, debts, or encumbrances. Our goal is to resolve any title issues before closing so we can issue a clean Title Policy and ensure a smooth transaction.
An Abstract Certificate is provided when a client wants to research a property’s title history without proceeding to a real estate closing. It includes a detailed report of any liens, encumbrances, or title issues recorded on the property.
While we handle a wide range of real estate transactions, the most common is the closing of single-family residences. It’s a joy for us to assist clients as they take this exciting step toward homeownership—and we take pride in making the process clear, smooth, and memorable.
