Title Insurance

Protecting your property rights
now—and long after closing

What Is Title Insurance — and How It Protects You

Title insurance is your best defense against hidden risks in a property’s ownership history, such as undiscovered liens, fraud, or legal disputes that could arise after closing. At First Title Source, we protect your property rights with policies backed by the nation’s most trusted underwriters — so you can move forward with confidence, knowing your investment is secure.

Understanding Title Insurance

Title insurance protects your legal ownership of a property. It shields you from financial loss due to problems that may exist in the property’s history — including hidden defects that can surface months or years after closing.

Unlike most insurance policies, title insurance looks backward, not forward — securing your property from past mistakes, oversights, or fraud.

What Could Go Wrong Without It?

Even after a sale feels complete, ownership issues can arise if prior errors or disputes come to light. Title insurance protects you from:

  • Outstanding liens or unpaid taxes
  • Errors or omissions in public records
  • Forgery, fraud, or misfiled documents
  • Claims by unknown heirs
  • Boundary or survey disputes

How Title Insurance Works

Step 1: Title Search

We examine the chain of title — looking for issues that may affect your ownership. This includes deeds, court records, and public databases.

Step 2: Clearing Title Defects

If we find anything questionable, we work to resolve it before closing so it doesn’t follow you into ownership.

Step 3: Issuing Your Policy

After clearing the title, we issue your insurance policy to protect you and/or your lender from future disputes.

What Type of Policy Do You Need?

  • Owner’s Policy: Protects you, the buyer, for as long as you own the property.
  • Lender’s Policy: Required by lenders to secure their financial interest until the loan is paid off.
  • Enhanced Policy Options: Available for added protection based on the property or transaction type.
