About Title Insurance

A Title Insurance Policy insures that as the new owner, your title for the property is free and clear of any possible encumbrances, and that you have clear title from the seller. A title insurance policy insures that you will stand protected from loss or damage as a result of any title defects. Some possible encumbrances include protection from forged documents, mistakes in public records, fraud and incorrect property descriptions. Landmark Title Group will provide a thorough search of the public records to reveal possible liens, claims or encumbrances against the property.

There are two primary types of title insurance policies:

The Owner's Policy: The Owner's Policy is issued to the new Owner, guaranteeing that the Title to the property they are purchasing, is delivered to them without any encumbrances.

The Lender's Policy: The Lender's Policy is issued when there is a Mortgage Lien to be issued on the Property. It guarantees that the title to the property for which they are lending funds is free and clear of any encumbrances.

Escrow Services

As an escrow agent, Landmark Title Group is a neutral third party who can carry out the instructions in a purchase agreement between the buyer and seller or the borrower in a refinance situation. We can also handle all of the disbursement associated with the closing.

We offer three primary types of Escrow closings:

Purchase/Sale - Involving both a buyer and a seller, you can count on Landmark Title Group to provide the highest quality service and attention to the details whether you're the realtor, attorney, lender, builder or developer.

Refinancing - Refinancing is the process of obtaining new lender financing on a property. There are several reasons to Refinance. The most common is when the initial financing was at a much higher interest rate thus refinancing at a lower interest rate would reduce the monthly payments.
