A title insurance company in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, is a business that offers title insurance to protect against losses resulting from disputes over the ownership of a property. Title insurance companies typically work with attorneys, real estate agents, and lenders to help ensure that the property being purchased has a clear title, meaning there are no outstanding claims or legal issues that could affect the ownership of the property.
When you purchase title insurance, the title insurance company will perform a search of the property’s title history to ensure that there are no outstanding liens or other issues that could affect your ownership of the property. If any issues are found, the title insurance company will work to resolve them before the sale is finalized. If a dispute over the ownership of the property arises after the sale, the title insurance company will provide financial protection for the homeowner and lender by covering the cost of legal fees and any financial losses resulting from the dispute. Title insurance is usually required by lenders when a home is purchased with a mortgage, and it can also be purchased by homeowners to protect their own interests in the property.
