What is title insurance and why do I need it?

“Title” is the legal right to use or own property and title insurance protects you from legal challenges to your title. It’s different from homeowners insurance, which protects against future property damage that may be caused by an event like a storm or fire. Title insurance safeguards your property from hidden problems with your ownership that may be lurking in the property’s past.
