What is Title Insurance?

Grudowski & Thompson working togetherParamount Settlement Services handles all post-closing matters, including the issuance of the Title Insurance Policy. Why title insurance?  When purchasing real estate, it’s important that you receive clear title to the property.  You must be informed of any existing rights or claims that may threaten your title and possession of the property.  Title insurance provides important protection against any future claims.

If a claim is made, the title insurance company protects you by defending your title at no cost to you and bears all costs in settling the case.

  • Title insurance rates are established by the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance
  • The rate is determined by the purchase price of the property (when buying) or loan amount (when refinancing)
  • The original premium is your only cost, as long as you or your heirs own the property
