Title insurance is insurance against
loss from defects in title to real property and from the
invalidity or
unenforceability of mortgage liens. It is available in many countries but
it is principally a product developed and sold in the United States. It is
meant to protect an owner's or lender's financial interest in real
property against loss due to title defects, liens or other matters. It
will defend against a lawsuit attacking the title as it is insured, or
reimburse the insured for the actual monetary loss incurred, up to the
dollar amount of insurance provided by the policy.
Typically the real property interests insured are fee simple ownership or
a mortgage. However, title insurance can be purchased to insure any
interest in real property, including an easement, lease or life estate.
Just as lenders require fire insurance and other types of insurance
coverage to protect their investment, nearly all institutional lenders
also require title insurance to protect their interest in the collateral
of loans secured by real estate. Some mortgage lenders, especially
non-institutional lenders, may not require title insurance. |

Escrow
is a legal arrangement in which an asset (often money, but sometimes
other property such as art, a deed of title, website, or software
source code) is delivered to a third party (called an escrow agent) to
be held in trust pending a contingency or the fulfillment of a
condition or conditions in a contract such as payment of a purchase
price. Upon that event occurring, the escrow agent will deliver the
asset to the proper recipient, otherwise the escrow agent is bound by
his or her fiduciary duty to maintain the escrow account. |
