Virginia Real Estate Settlement :: Richmond Property Closing :: Title Insurance

Protect your largest invesment from these unforseen claims:

• A forged will or deed
• A signature by a minor without a legal guardian's approval
• A deed from a mentally incompetent person
• Fraudulent representations
• Undisclosed or missing heirs
• Invalid divorces
• False affidavits
• Liens involving judgments and mechanics
• Unpaid taxes
• Sellers who misrepresent their marital status
• Mistakes in recordings and title searches
• Defective foreclosures or tax sales
• Improper acknowledgments
• Deeds executed under a defective power of attorney
• Clerical errors in the land records
• Confusion arising from similarity of names
• Improperly probated or undiscovered will

The purpose of title insurance is to protect the Lender and the Buyer against loss from mistakes which could have occurred in the abstract of the title and claims which cannot be discovered by an examination of public records -- the "hidden defects".

These defects in the title to your property could have taken place many years before you or the current seller purchased the property and could adversely affect your ownership interest.
