  What types of policies are available?

 
  There are two general types of title insurance policies that are normally issued that you should be aware of:
  • Owner's Title Insurance Policy
  • Mortgagee's Title Insurance Policy
Since most property owners mortgage or borrow money at the time of purchase or during ownership, the lender can be expected to request protection of its investment against loss. Lenders know that many things can cause loss of title or that expenses are incurred while defending an attack. They insist upon a Mortgagee's Title Insurance Policy to protect their stockholders' and investors' investment in your property.

An Owner's Title Insurance Policy protects your investment (equity) as the buyer or owner of the property. As the owner, you should want to have the same assurance as the lender that the investment you have made cannot be lost because of a problem or defect with the title.
