Title, Settlement and Escrow Services
A title company usually plays an integral part of any real estate transaction. Most times, it is necessary to engage a title company accomplish the following:
· Title Examinations – A title company researches all the public records in the County in which the property being sold/purchased is located. This is necessary to make sure that the property can be sold with no liens or encumbrances that could negatively impact the buyer’s ownership interest in the property, and allows the title company to insure the “marketability” of the title;
· Escrow Services – To insure the integrity of the sale/purchase, a neutral “referee” to the transaction is necessary to make sure all the money and documents, including the property deed, are collected and/or distributed to the rightful parties and that the deed or mortgage get properly recorded in the appropriate land records;
· Title Insurance – What if a person “appears” years after you have purchased the property and claims to have an open mortgage worth thousands of dollars against the property and is looking for you to pay it when you knew nothing about it because that mortgage belonged to the prior owner? Worse yet, what if that person claimed they actually “owned” the property and had filed a lawsuit to kick you out? Title insurance is issued by the title company to a purchaser of property to “insure” ownership of the property for as long as that purchaser owns the property.
In addition to these services, good title companies can help with deed transfers in divorce or estate situations, help with contract preparation, or even help create mortgages against properties for private borrowers and lenders.
