Title Insurance
Owners Policy of Title Insurance
A title declares ownership rights to a property. Title insurance is a product that protects a buyer against any defects, liens, or encumbrances on the title of the property.
There are two different types of Title Insurance: 1) Owner’s Policy and, 2) Lender’s Policy. Owner’s policy protects the owner of the property. Lender’s policy protects the lender and their financial interests.
In Wisconsin, typically the seller of a property pays for title insurance protecting the buyer. It is the seller’s responsibility to provide the new owner with clear title to the property.
In Minnesota, the buyer typically pays the Owners and Loan Policy of the title insurance.
