Should I Purchase Owner's Title Insurance If I Buy A House?
Question by hmn186282 | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I am buying a home. My lender is already including Lender's Title Insurance as part of my closing costs. He (my mortgage guy) says I am not required to purchase Owner's Title Insurance for his company's purposes.
It is a 30 year old home, and I will be at least the 3rd person to own this house (the current owner has only owned it for three years, so at least one other person must have owned it before them).
What is the difference between having just Lender's Title Insurance and Owner;s
Answer: Let's assume that the worst happens: You buy a house for $100,000 with an $80,000 mortgage. One day the door swings open and the person demands to know what you're doing in his house. Turns out your seller forged this guy's name on the documents and you don't have good title. You can sue the seller, but in the meantime the court will give the house back to the victim.
In that case your lender will file a claim under the Lender's Title policy, which is in the amount of the mortgage -- $80k -- and they're happy. If you don't have an owner's policy, you'll be out of the house and also your $20k. That's why your lender doesn't care if you have an owner's policy or not.

The Major Difference Between An Owner’s Title Insurance Policy And A Lender’s Title Insurance Policy Is?
Question by Joel | Posted in Insurance
Answer: Title insurance covers any mistake in the title search when a property is purchased. Say, for example, you buy a house for $100,000 and you think you are getting free and clear title to the house. After the closing, you find out that the previous owner had been in a car accident, was at fault, and there was a court judgment against him that was filed one week before the closing. And, the judgment filed a lien against his house for $50,000 two days before your closing. This lien was not discovered during title search. In this case, since you now own the property, if the previous owner does not pay that $50,000 judgment, you cannot sell your house without paying the judgment yourself (outrageous,
What Does An Owner's Title Insurance Policy Look Like?
Question by SANDRA J | Posted in Renting & Real Estate
I am refinancing and my lender is asking for my Owner's Title Insurance Policy which should be in my original loan package. Well...I'm looking through a hundred documents and nothing is titled "Owner's Title Insurance Policy." Does anyone know what this document should look like? Maybe it goes by a different title...
Answer: it would not be with your original loan package. it is sent later by the title insurance company associated with your loan. if you call your lender and ask for the title officer's contact info, they will be able to provide you with a copy of the owners policy. your lender should already know how to do this themselves, and i've never heard of requiring a copy of the current owner's title insurance policy anyway.
What Is The Difference Between Title Insurance And Owners Title Insurance?
Question by singer_ram | Posted in Insurance
Hi Friends,
We are about to buy a home in Mason Ohio and the closing is expected to happen in a few days. I was asked by mortgage lender that if I would be intersted in ' Owners title Insurance policy'?
Already there is a fees ($763.00) that I am paying as Title Insurance fees. So do I really need this extra protection of 'Owners Title Insurance Policy' and if so how will it help me to have this extra protection, when already I am paying for one.
Any suggestions
Answer: The title insurance is the Lender's policy that protects the lender from any liens on that property. The Owners policy is for you, the owner to protect you from any liens that may show up on the property. For example, if in 10 years the county finds that someone else owned part of your land and owes money on it, you would be responsible to pay that if you didn't ave an owners policy. It's def worth it to get it.

What Is Title Insurance? - Financial Web
by API developer
For example, if it is determined that there was a judgment on a piece of property, the owner of the property could lose all of the money that was invested in that property as it is restored to its rightful owner. After title insurance is purchased, if anything comes up, the title company will pay to resolve the problem. Without title insurance these circumstances could lead to big problems for the owner of the land. Title insurance is designed to protect the purchaser of a piece of property against any claims on the land. In some cases, the cost of the title insurance will be split by the buyer and seller of a piece of property. Once you purchase your title insurance, it is good for as long as you own the property. Title insurance only requires one upfront payment. This would be classified as fraud and it would result in the title not being transferred clearly to the new owner....
