Title Insurance is a form of indemnity insurance that protects lenders and homebuyers from financial loss sustained from defects in a title to a property.
Title Insurance is mandatory in Pennsylvania and strongly recommended in New Jersey, but beyond that, it’s a smart idea to protect your largest investment. We’ve compiled a list of 21 reasons you want to have Title Insurance for your home.
