Title Insurance in Detroit: what to expect
Title insurance in Detroit protects against losses from problems with ownership that existed before you bought or refinanced: forged documents, missing heirs, recording errors, undisclosed liens and similar defects. Unlike most insurance, you pay once at closing and coverage lasts as long as you or your heirs hold the interest.
There are two main policies. A lender's policy protects the mortgage lender and is usually required with a loan. An owner's policy protects the buyer. Before issuing either, the title company prepares a commitment listing requirements to meet and exceptions the policy will not cover.
Properties in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties with tax foreclosure or estate history may carry more exceptions. Compare Detroit title companies. Rebuild Detroit is not a title agency or law firm, and this is general information, not legal advice.

Licensing and records in Michigan
In Michigan, title insurers and title insurance agents are regulated by the Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS), which licenses title producers and agencies. Search the agent, agency or underwriter in the DIFS locator before you send money.
The policy is issued by a title insurance underwriter, usually through a licensed agent. Ask which underwriter backs your policy and confirm it in the DIFS locator.
