Clear title is essential to protecting real estate investments and transactions.
Real estate transactions involve numerous moving parts, and title issues can disrupt or derail even well‑planned deals. Title insurance protects purchasers and lenders from a wide range of known and unknown risks that may affect ownership interests in real property. Unresolved title issues can delay or prevent closings and, in some cases, create significant financial exposure.
Cassidy Coates Price’s real estate attorneys are experienced in issuing title insurance in connection with purchase and financing transactions. We regularly assist clients in identifying, addressing, and resolving title issues and represent property owners in quiet title actions to ensure that property interests are clear, marketable, and insurable.
As a general matter, a title insurance policy protects against financial loss resulting from title defects or encumbrances that exist at the time of purchase but are unknown to the insured. Our attorneys work closely with clients and lenders to facilitate smooth transactions and address title concerns efficiently.
Title Insurance Coverage May Include Protection Against:
- Improperly filed or recorded deeds affecting ownership
- Falsified or inaccurate information in prior deeds
- Mortgage fraud, including unpaid prior loans
- Liens against the property, such as unpaid contractor or homeowners’ association fees
- Encroachments or boundary issues involving neighboring properties
- Easements or rights‑of‑way affecting property use
- Outstanding tax obligations or back taxes
