PENSACOLA TITLE INSURANCE LAWYERS
When buying a piece of real estate, how do you know what you are buying or whether you are buying it from the person who actually owns it? The same goes for those loaning money on a real estate deal and taking a mortgage as collateral. You can obtain a title search, but the liability of the typical title search is limited by statute. As a result, the title insurance industry was developed. Title companies do a great job of ensuring the interests of buyers and lenders. Institutional lenders will always require a title insurance policy to reduce their risks. The question often arises as to whether the lender’s title policy covers the owner. The simple answer is that it does not because the coverages are different. For a lender to have a claim under a title policy, it would first have to have a loss. Losses don’t occur unless the borrower defaults. Owner’s title policies, on the other hand, ensure that title to the property is marketable. Our Pensacola title insurance attorneys know how to help you. Title policies are subject to limitations and exclusions. Also, there are additional coverages that you may need. Because title insurance is heavily regulated in Florida, you have to know what those coverages are, when they apply, and whether they are appropriate in a given situation. This is what we do. You can work with a title insurance attorney from Moorhead Law Group who understands these policies and can advise you on what is covered and what isn’t. We also handle title insurance claims. We have prosecuted title insurance claims and defended such claims, representing some of the world’s largest title companies in the process. We understand the policies and can assist in obtaining a fair settlement. If litigation is required, whether to prosecute a title claim or defend one, our team of experienced litigators can handle that as well.
