"Because any
home, no matter
how new or
apparently secure,
is built on land as old
as the earth itself.
Undoubtedly this land
has had many previous
owners. Claims against any one of
these persons can be filed against
the property and against you as the
present owner. Such hazards as
fraud, missing heirs, old liens and
many others can, and often do,
arise like ghosts out of the past."
"Title Insurance protects you
against past claims and title faults.
It makes your home safely yours.
Your title insurance policy is your
shield of protection and will defend
your ownership against loss. You
pay one premium only - your
protection and peace of mind last
as long as you and your heirs
remain in ownership."
