Title Company
An insurer who researches the title to real estate for the purpose of discovering any unknown liens or encumbrances on the property that may have come into effect before the current purchase of the property. Mortgage bankers lending money to home buyers generally require the purchaser to purchase title insurance. If, after the purchase, a recorded encumbrance surfaces that was not discovered by the title company, it is paid by the title company to the insured as a claim
