Understanding Title Insurance and Its Importance in Closings
When you sell a piece of your property, like furniture, for example, the transaction is done once the money and goods are exchanged. Real estate transactions are far more complicated than virtually any other type of property exchange due to the fact that previous homeowners or lenders might still have a claim to the land through titles, liens, or debts.
Sometimes you might not even be aware that a previous owner existed and you could still lose your right to the property you thought you had legitimately purchased. Title insurance exists to clear up any unforeseen issues that could arise with the real estate transaction regarding previous owners or anyone who could have a claim over the property.
Purchasing title insurance should first trigger a search into the property's past, including:
- Deeds
- Omissions
- Heirs
- And more
When you retain our Naples real estate attorneys, we can conduct this search on your behalf to ensure nothing important is overlooked.
Additionally, we can work with an insurance policy provider to underwrite a title insurance policy that protects your equity should you ultimately lose the right to the property through a title defect. With title insurance properly drafted and purchased, you can continue the closing process with confidence that you will not be blindsided by an error on the seller's end of the deal.
Navigating the Closing Process with Confidence
As mentioned previously, selling or purchasing a home is not simple in comparison to just about everything else you can buy or sell. The whole closing process can be an intricate procedure from start to finish.
If you do not understand what is going on and what needs to be done, you could wind up buying or selling a piece of real estate that is not properly valued, resulting in you spending too much or not receiving enough.
Our Naples real estate closing lawyers can assist you with every step of the closing process, including:
- Setting up an escrow account (neutral third-party money holder)
- Title search and title insurance (see above)
- Determine fair closing costs
- Total inspection of the property (pests, damage, necessary repairs, etc.)
- Reevaluate purchase or selling price based on inspection results
- Determine and set an interest rate
- Review and sign the final paperwork
Keep in mind that if any of the work necessary to complete a closing sounds like too much for you, or if your schedule simply does not afford you the time, we can act on your behalf and in your absence to keep the process moving. This is not a service that a title company can offer you.
