I cannot emphasize this next statement enough. You need to always, and I mean always, purchase title insurance on every real estate transaction you enter into. The company handling your title search may be the best in the business. But anyone can make a mistake. And let’s not mention fraud. Well, actually let’s mention fruad. An article at RealEstateMate.com poses this question. “Suppose you buy a house and shortly after you move in a woman knocks on the door and says, “What are you doing in my house?” You politely point out you bought the house from a nice man and you have title insurance. That woman might be the ex-wife of the “nice man” who arranged to have her signature forged on the deed by his girlfriend.” Hmmmm, very interesting huh. In the article, you’ll find the answer and some good advice on how to save some money and get the best title insurance money can buy.
