TITLE & ESCROW
TITLE SEARCH WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU
WHAT IS TITLE
You’ve decided to purchase a home and hope to take possession as soon as possible. The terms have been agreed on and all financial arrangements have been made. But one important detail remains. Before the transaction can close, a title search must be made. The most accurate description of title is “a bundle of rights in real property.” A title search is a means of determining from the public record that the person who is selling the property really has the right to sell it, and that the buyer is getting all the rights to the property (title) that he or she is paying for. The title company determines insurability of the title as part of the search process. This leads to the issuance of a title policy, which insures the existence or non-existence of rights to the property. The title insurance company will, at its own expense, defend the title and pay losses within the coverage of the policy if they occur.
But exactly what is involved in a title search? Ticor Title Company provides the following step-by-step review.
CHAIN OF TITLE
This is simply a history of the ownership for a particular piece of property, telling who bought and sold it, and when. The information may be derived from a variety of public records or privately owned title plants. Title plants may include index cards, punch cards, tract books, microfiche or may even be computerized. They all contain essentially the same information from which the history of the title may be secured.
TAX SEARCH
This is a search to determine the present status of general real estate taxes against the property. The tax search will reveal if taxes are current or whether any taxes are past due and unpaid from previous years.
A due and unpaid tax is a prior lien or claim on the property above all others. If a buyer purchases property with unpaid and past due taxes against it, he or she is likely to find a government body — the city, county or state — placing the property up for sale to pay those taxes. Title insurance protects the buyer against loss from unpaid and past due taxes.
REPORT ON POSSESSION
Ticor Title Company may send inspectors to look at the property to verify the lot size, check the location of improvements, and look for evidence of easements that are not shown on the record. The purpose of this is to supplement the information learned from the title search. In the eyes of the law, any buyer of real estate is assumed to have notice of all matters properly shown in the public records for that real estate, as well as any information that an actual inspection may reveal. If the inspector detects an unrecorded easement or other evidence of outstanding rights that could affect the owner’s title and possibly the value and intended use, the company will disclose these matters before the closing of the purchase. Those matters must then either be disposed of or shown as exceptions in the title insurance policy. Sometimes when an acceptable survey and appropriate affidavits are received, an inspection will not be made.
JUDGMENT AND NAME SEARCH
One of the most important parts of the title search is to determine if there are any unsatisfied judgments against the seller or previous owners which were in existence while they owned the title. A judgment is a general lien against the debtor’s real estate and constitutes security for any money owed under the judgment. The real estate can be sold to satisfy the judgment. It is extremely important to be sure that a title is not subject to judgments against the seller

or previous owners. Title insurance provides this protection. A judgment against a person named Smith may affect the title of a seller named Smith, depending on whether or not they are the same person. All possible variations of the name must be examined.
Rights established by judgment decrees, unpaid federal income taxes, and mechanic’s liens all may be prior claims on the property, ahead of the buyer’s or lender’s rights. If a judgment is discovered that constitutes a defect in the title, it is pointed out. The seller must then eliminate it before the title of the new buyer can be insured free and clear of that judgment.
COMMITMENT
When these searches have been completed, the title company issues a commitment to insure, stating the conditions under which it will insure the title. The buyer, seller and mortgage lender can proceed with the closing of the transaction after clearing up any defects in the title which may have been uncovered by the search and examination.
The mortgage lender is as concerned as the buyer about the quality of the title because the property is to be security for the new mortgage loan. The mortgage lender requires assurance that it has a valid first (or another acceptable priority) mortgage lien on the property. This is not only common sense, but generally a legal requirement of regulated mortgage lenders.
The lender’s title insurance, however, does not protect the new buyer of the property. Although the land is the same, the interest of the buyer and the interest of the lender are very different. The provisions of a lender’s title insurance policy are very different from those of a buyer’s policy. The buyer should obtain his own policy, often issued simultaneously with the lender’s policy.

ALTA POLICY COMPARISONS
The Owner’s Policy as defined by Wikipedia “assures a purchaser that the title to the property is vested in that purchaser and that it is free from all defects, liens and encumbrances except those listed as exceptions in the policy or are excluded from the scope of the policy's coverage. It also covers losses and damages suffered if the title is unmarketable. The policy also provides coverage for loss if there is no right of access to the land. Although these are the basic coverages, expanded forms of residential owner's policies exist that cover additional items of loss.
The liability limit of the owner's policy is typically the purchase price paid for the property. As with other types of insurance, coverages can also be added or deleted with an endorsement. There are many forms of standard endorsements to cover a variety of common issues. The premium for the policy may be paid by the seller or buyer as the parties agree.”
ALTA HOMEOWNER’S POLICYEXPANDED COVERAGE:
The ALTA Homeowner’s policy offers what we believe to be the most comprehensive coverage available. Two items to note:
• In addition to the level of coverage afforded by Standard Owner’s Policy, the ALTA Homeowners policy offers Post Closing Coverage on certain items.
• Specific items covered by the ALTA Homeowners policy are subject to Customer Deductibles and a Maximum Liability Amount per said covered item.
ALTA OWNER’S POLICYEXTENDED COVERAGE:
Extended coverage provides additional protection against loss due to off-record matters including, but not limited to the following:
Unrecorded liens; undisclosed easements, except underground easements; survey and boundary questions; and any lien, or right to a lien, for labor, material, services or equipment, or for contributions to employee benefit plans, or liens under Workmen’s Compensation Acts, not disclosed by the public records.
ALTA OWNER’S POLICYSTANDARD COVERAGE:
Standard coverage offers the least comprehensive form of title insurance available.
Even though the Homeowner’s policy is an excellent choice, the Realtor® should always make sure that the buyer and seller understand that there are options to choose from. If another form is desired by the buyer, it must be addressed in the purchase and sale agreement, and then it must be confirmed that the title commitment reflects the correct policy.

BEFORE YOUR SIGNING APPOINTMENT
BUYERS AND SELLERS
