What Is A Title?
In real estate law, a title is a legal document that grants its holder the right to own, use, or dispose of a piece of property. A title can change ownership through a will, court decree, or sale of the property. Typically, titles should include previous transfers and ownerships.
What Is Title Insurance?
Title insurance policies are designed to protect both lenders and buyers from suffering a financial loss in the case of title defects such as liens, encumbrances, or any other problems that might limit a property's marketability. Our
title insurance agency can help you find the title insurance policy that's best suited to your needs!
Do I Need Title Insurance?
Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for titles to contain hidden defects. Therefore, we advise buyers to invest in title insurance. Moreover, unless you plan to pay for the property out of pocket, lenders prefer having a title insurance policy as protection.

Who Pays Title Insurance In Florida?
The party responsible for paying the one-time premium on a title insurance policy will vary depending upon the county where the transaction occurs. In Miami-Dade county, the buyer typically pays for the title insurance policy and chooses the closing company. However, in most other Florida counties, those responsibilities fall upon the seller.
What Is A Title Search?
A title search evaluates court-recorded documents intended to ensure that the title is free of any liens, encumbrances, easements, or claims that need to be erased/cleared before closing. We offer
title search services that provide a comprehensive look at records that have been filed over the past 30 years, including past deeds, wills, and trusts to ensure that all former owners have waived their rights to the property.
What Is An Escrow Agent?
Generally, escrow agents are actively licensed title attorneys or agents. These agents act as a trusted third party responsible for holding the funds required to close the transaction of a property in a trust account while deals are being finalized or disagreements are being resolved.

Closing refers to the stage of a real estate transaction wherein the property's title is officially transferred from the seller to the buyer. Our
