9� Owner’s Title Insurance Policy

          •  Research the value and importance of an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy early on in the process of obtaining
            a loan and closing on the purchase of your home�
          •  Homebuyers often assume that the Lender’s Title Insurance Policy protects them from challenges to their
            ownership rights in the property being acquired� This is not the case� Instead, the homebuyer’s interests are
            protected by an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy� This insurance coverage typically protects against adverse
            matters such as ownership challenges, errors and omissions in deeds, forgery and undisclosed heirs, among
            other things� It also provides coverage for the attorney’s fees that arise where legal challenges to your
            property’s ownership occur� Its cost is typically based on the home’s total purchase price, and is a one-time
            fee paid at closing�


        10�  Ask Questions
          •  This is one of the most important purchases of your life� Do not be afraid to ask questions of your lender, real
            estate agent and escrow officer�


                                Consumers are given more time to consider
                        their options because the Closing Disclosure (CD) form
                          is now provided three days before signing documents�
