Here are some important questions to consider when deciding whether to choose a Real Estate Title Agent-Attorney, or a traditional title company:
There are generally some issues that come up that require providing legal advice to clients in real estate transactions. For example, how should a client accept title to the property; does the client have homestead rights; and what is a FIRPTA withholding? As a result, a traditional title company is not licensed to provide legal advice to the client. However, the professionals at The Gilchrist Law Firm, P.A. will provide competent legal advice at a comparable price to support the client’s needs.
Title insurance protects either a homeowner or a lender against a possible claim of ownership being made against the title to the property. An Owner’s title insurance policy protects the purchaser against the cost of a title claim and the cost of having to defend such a claim. The title insurance policy also provides marketability coverage, which means that it also ensures that the owner can sell his property free from any claims that would be covered by the owner’s title insurance policy.
