Why Do You Need Title Insurance?

A title is the foundation of property ownership, and because land is permanent and can have many owners over the years, various rights in land may have been acquired by others (such as mineral, air or utility rights) by the time you come into possession of it. A title search is a detailed examination of the historical records concerning a property. The purpose of the search is to verify the seller's right to transfer ownership, and to protect the buyer from any claims, defects, rights or burdens on the property. Among these are unpaid taxes, unsatisfied mortgages, judgments against the seller, and restrictions limiting the use of the land.

Why Are Surveys Important?

There are many situations where you may need surveys done on your property or a piece of property you're considering purchasing. While land surveys may seem expensive, they are not as expensive as having to defend a building or fence you've already constructed.

A subdivision (or plat) map attached to a title report will show the boundaries of the property, but it will not show where the house is located on the property or whether there are any encroachments on the property (such as a neighbor's tree, driveway, or fence). To make these determinations, you will need a survey. A survey will show you exactly where the property lines are located and whether there are any building restrictions affecting your rights. Having this information may be important if you have plans for adding a pool or a fence to the property, for example.

Apart from wanting a survey to determine the location of buildings and easements on the property, you may have plans to divide up the property at a later date. Having a survey in hand will help you make those decisions when that time may come.
