What is Title Insurance?

Title insurance protects against financial loss from defects in a property's title, things like unknown liens, forged documents, errors in public records, undisclosed heirs, or boundary disputes. Unlike other insurance that protects against future events, title insurance protects against past problems that weren't discovered during the title search.

Owner's vs. Lender's Policy

Owner's policy protects you (the buyer) for as long as you own the property. It's a one-time premium paid at closing.

Lender's policy is required by your mortgage lender and protects only the lender's interest. It does not protect you.

When both are purchased at the same time (simultaneous issue), you receive a significant discount on the lender's policy, often 50–70% off.

Need a complete closing cost estimate? This calculator covers title insurance only. A full PA closing cost estimate also includes transfer tax (typically 2% of purchase price, split between buyer and seller), recording fees, settlement/title search fees, and other charges.
