Tehama County Title Insurance
Working with a local and knowledgeable escrow and title insurance company helps ensure smooth real estate transactions.
What is Title Insurance?
When a property is financed, bought or sold, a record of that transaction is generally filed in public archives. Likewise, records of other events that may affect the ownership of a property, like liens or levies, are also archived.
When you buy title insurance for your property, we search these records to find – and remedy, if possible – several types of ownership issues. First, the title company searches public records to determine the property’s ownership. After this search, the underwriter will determine the insurability of the title.
