Frequently Asked Questions

Title insurance protects you against financial loss from defects in a property's title — things like unpaid taxes, forged deeds, undisclosed heirs, survey errors, and more. Unlike other insurance that covers future events, title insurance covers past events you might not know about. Most lenders require a lender's policy. An owner's policy is optional but highly recommended — it protects you and your heirs for as long as you own the property.
Title insurance is a one-time premium paid at closing. The cost is based on the purchase price or loan amount and is regulated by the state in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Use our Title Insurance Calculator to get an instant estimate. The premium covers you for as long as you own the property — there are no annual renewals.
A lender's policy (also called a loan policy) protects your mortgage lender up to the loan amount. It's required by virtually all lenders. An owner's policy protects you, the buyer, up to the full purchase price and continues protecting your heirs as long as you own the home. We strongly recommend purchasing both at the same time — combined pricing at closing is significantly lower than purchasing them separately.
Most residential title searches are completed within 3–5 business days. Refinances are often faster. Commercial properties or those with complex histories may take longer. We commit to keeping all parties informed throughout the process and we flag issues immediately so they can be resolved well before your scheduled closing date.
Not at all. While our Southampton, PA office is convenient for many clients, we also offer mobile closings at your home, your attorney's office, a lender's branch, or any other mutually agreeable location. We serve clients throughout the greater Philadelphia region and across both states.
You'll typically need: a government-issued photo ID, a certified or cashier's check (or wire transfer confirmation) for your closing funds, proof of homeowner's insurance, and any additional documents requested by your lender. We'll send you a detailed checklist before your closing date so there are no surprises at the table.
