Owner Title Insurance & Owner Title Policies
Owner title insurance protects property owners from financial loss caused by title defects that were not discovered during the title search. An owner title policy provides long-term protection for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
Owner title insurance protects against issues such as:
- Forged deeds or releases
- Incorrect representation of marital status
- Errors in public records
- Mistaken interpretation of wills and trusts
- Deeds executed under expired or false powers of attorney
Unlike other insurance types, an owner title policy is a one-time purchase that offers ongoing protection — no monthly premiums required.
