Title Insurance

Title insurance is different from other forms of insurance. Instead of covering claims or losses related to a future event, it reimburses claims and losses due to real property defects introduced in the past, before the property was sold. The law firm of Michael L. Hoffman, P.C., is a leader in North Texas title insurance matters.

Our experienced North Texas title attorneys provide these and other services for prospective real estate buyers:

• Title examinations - We carefully examine public records to determine if any title claims or title defects exist for your chosen property.
• Title insurance brokerage - We sell appropriate title insurance to indemnify your real estate purchases from pre-existing defects and future claims
• Title defense - We achieve reimbursement for your losses resulting from claims against your insured properties.
• Property abstracting - Through our research of client titles, we can create or update abstracts to demonstrate your property's history.

Why Title Insurance is Important

Title insurance is a smart idea for anyone who purchases a home, business location or other real estate. It assures that real property buyers will be informed of any clouds on title to the property, and that such defects will be corrected before they complete their transaction.

Further, title insurance ensures that any undiscovered defects that threaten the policyholder's ownership of real estate will be disposed of, or that the policyholder will be reimbursed under terms in the title insurance policy.

The following is a brief list of situations in which the title insurance attorneys of Michael L. Hoffman, P.C., can protect you:

• False impersonation of the true owner of the property
• Forged deed, releases or wills
• Instruments executed under invalid or expired power of attorney
• Undisclosed or missing heirs
• Mistakes in recording legal documents

Quick, Efficient, Complete

If you are considering a real property purchase, it is important that you hire an experienced title insurance attorney who can vet your property's history and defend your property from unwanted claims and encumbrances.

At Michael L. Hoffman, P.C., our lawyers are not only experienced in providing these services, but they do so quickly and efficiently.
