ONLINE RESOURCE FOR TITLE INSURANCE IN TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA

Here are answers to some common questions. 

  • What Should I look for in a Title Search?

    Listing of current legal owner, mortgages, liens, taxes and assessments, property leases, or easements.

  • Am I Required to Buy Title Insurance?

    You are not required to purchase title insurance for yourself, but your lender may require a lender’s policy.

  • What Will My Title Insurance Cost?

    Title insurance rates vary from state to state and are calculated on several factors, including location and type of policy.

  • Do I Need to Pay a Premium Yearly?

    No. An owner’s title insurance premium is a one-time fee that keeps the policy in force as long as you own the property.

  • Does Lender Title Insurance protect the owner?

    No. A lender’s policy is to protect your mortgage holder against losses during the duration of the loan. A separate owner’s policy must be purchased to protect the owner’s interests.

  • Does a Title Search Prove That a Title Is Good and Clear?

    Not always. There may be legal documents that are not filed, forgeries of signatures, or other irregularities that are not discovered in a title search.
