TITLE INSURANCE
Title Insurance offers protection from a number of risks that can arise in a real estate transaction. Any of these risks can put the owner’s or lender’s interest in jeopardy or, at the very least, cause problems in subsequent transactions.
Examples are:
· Clerical error (the most common problem and generally the easiest to fix)
· Forgery, fraud, incompetence and incapacity
· Lack of legal access to the property
· “Missing Links” in the chain of title
· Unknown heirs to property due to poorly handled successions, improper identification of owners, etc.
· Surveyor errors
We are Best Practices certified and our attorneys are approved settlement agents for all local lenders and most national lenders, including, but not limited to:
· Community First Bank
· JD Bank
· First National Bank of Jeanerette
· Pedestal Bank
· IberiaBank
· State Farm Bank
· Capital One
· Regions Bank
