What is Title Insurance?

When purchasing a home or real estate you want to be sure your investment is protected from title defects. For lenders, title insurance provides financial protection making loans more negotiable in the secondary market. For purchasers, title insurance provides the assurance that their investment is protected for as long as they or their heirs own the property. Alabama Land Services and the policies we provide exist to ensure that title issues don’t affect your home ownership rights.

Our records, beginning in 1887, are the oldest and most complete in the area. Our experienced title examiners search through these records discovering deeds, mortgages, tax liens, judgments, encroachments and anything else that might be presented as a lien on your property. We then write a Title Insurance Commitment requiring those items be resolved prior to closing. Once these requirements are met, an owner’s policy is issued insuring the title to the purchaser’s property.

Protecting Your Investment

Your choice of a title insurer is important, because your home is important. You will want to protect your investment with the best title insurance available, backed by an organization with experience, skill, and a commitment to service. Our underwriters are some of the largest and most trusted in the business, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
