Title Insurance

What is Title Insurance?
Title insurance is indemnity insurance against financial loss from defects in title to real property and from the invalidity or unenforceability of mortgage liens. Title insurance is principally a product developed and sold in the United States as a result of the comparative deficiency of the US land records laws. It is meant to protect an owner’s or a lender’s financial interest in real property against loss due to title defects, liens or other matters. It will defend against a lawsuit attacking the title as it is insured, or reimburse the insured for the actual monetary loss incurred, up to the dollar amount of insurance provided by the policy.

What are our rates?
When issuing basic title insurance, our rates are standardized as set forth by the Nebraska Department of Revenue. Our Basic Insurance Calculator can be used to calculate your premium based on the amount of coverage required (NOTE: This calculator is valid only for Douglas, Sarpy, Washington, and Lancaster Counties in Nebraska).

Also, our Homeowners (Expanded Coverage) Insurance Calculator can be used to calculate your premium based on the amount of coverage required (NOTE: This calculator is valid for all Counties in Nebraska).

Certificates of Title

What are Certificates of Title?
Certificates of Title, also known as Reports of Title, are documents that may be used to establish the current owner of a piece of property. Along with identifying the current owner, a Certificate of Title will also provide other valuable information about the status of the property, including any existing easements or encumbrances on the land and buildings located on the property. Full disclosure of the status of the property on the Certificate of Title can help lenders and potential buyers to be fully apprised of the current situation of the asset, and thus make a decision about whether to move forward with the proposed transaction.

Escrow Closings

What is an Escrow Closing?
Closing in escrow usually occurs in states in the western half of the US. A title company (rather than a lawyer) or other trusted party holds the money and the signed deed, and arranges for the transfer. This is primarily so that the seller can give up ownership of the property, and the buyer can hand over the payment, without both parties having to be present at the same time. Escrow ensures an orderly transaction, or if something goes wrong, an orderly termination of the agreement.
