Each title insurance policy we write is paid up, in full, by the first premium for as long as you or your heirs own the property according to the terms of the applicable policy.

Reason #12

Title insurance covers attorney’s fees and court costs pursuant to the terms of the applicable policy.

Reason #7

The testator of a will might have had a child born after the execution of the will, a fact that could entitle the child to claim his or her share of the property.
