An abstract for registered land also know as Torrens Property. This property, which has been registered through the court system for which a certificate of title is issued.
Their Title insurance protects the bank against mistakes made in a title search. A title searcher, who should be licensed and bonded, checks on details such as making sure there isn't a lien against the title, or that the person you're buying the house from really owns it. An error made during this search could result in the bank collecting on the value of the mortgage from the title company while you continue paying a mortgage on a home you no longer own.
Common types of title insurance claims are for the cost of back property taxes that the title company missed in researching a sale, or the cost of a settlement with a neighbor whose new driveways or fence crept across a property line.They act as a central clearinghouse for the parties involved collecting necessary documents, insuring adherence to the lender's title instructions, making arrangements for proper payment and distribution of funds.They are fully prepared to work with you from the beginning of your transaction all the way through to conclusion.
