WHAT IS A TITLE SEARCH?
A title search is a standard part of the home buying process involving the review of public records to uncover issues that could prevent your right to the property. Shemtov Title works with external examiners to conduct multiple searches of public records to see if there are problems or defects that could cause you legal issues. This search is updated many times during the closing process.
WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE?
If you’re buying a home, title insurance is a policy that protects your investment and property rights from ownership claims by other parties. As a seller, providing title insurance to your buyer protects you and your heirs from future legal action.
