If you are facing long-term loss of income and tried to modify your loan and was unsuccessful you may want to consider reaching out to a professional to educate yourself about all of your alternatives. One alternative to a homeowner is the short sale transaction. The homeowner can hire a licensed Realtor at no up-front fees to market and sell ones house for what it worth – not what they owe at current market value.

When you purchase a home, you are really purchasing the title to the property — which is the right to occupy and use the property. That legal right is usually documented in the form of a deed recorded at the local courthouse. A title may be contested based upon past rights and claims asserted by others. These types of claims can complicate your purchase of the property, or challenge your ownership later on, and potentially cause you to lose money.

An owner’s policy of title insurance protects a buyer against defects in the title of the property, either clearing up title problems or paying for your losses. For a one-time premium generally paid at closing, an owner’s title insurance policy remains in effect as long as you, or your heirs, retain an interest in the property.
