Lender's Title Policy in Detroit: what to expect
A lender's title policy in Detroit protects the mortgage lender's lien position if a covered title defect surfaces after closing. Most lenders require one on a purchase or refinance in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, and the borrower typically pays for it as a closing cost.
The policy amount usually matches the loan amount and declines as the loan is paid down. It does not protect the owner: if you want coverage for your own equity, add an owner's title policy, often at the same closing.
On a refinance, a new lender's policy is normally issued even if you had one before. Compare quotes with Metro Detroit title companies and ask your mortgage lender which title services you may shop for. 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 new mortgage is recorded with the county register of deeds. Your Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure show title charges, and federal rules require the Closing Disclosure at least three business days before closing on most mortgages.
