Title Insurance in Utah

Title insurance protects against covered title problems that were not found, or not cleared, before closing. Monument Title Insurance, Inc. searches the property through our in-house title plant, writes the commitment, and issues the policy after recording. Utah license: Agency ID 10661.

What title insurance covers

An owner’s policy helps protect the buyer if someone later makes a covered claim against the title. A lender’s policy protects the lender’s security interest for the life of the loan. Title insurance is not a home inspection or a survey unless one is required and read into the file.

How Monument writes a policy

  1. Open the order from the contract and parcel.
  2. Search through our in-house title plant.
  3. Examine and write the commitment (requirements and exceptions).
  4. Clear payoffs, releases, HOA statements, and other requirements.
  5. Close and record.
  6. Issue the owner’s policy, lender’s policy, or both.

Owner’s policy vs. lender’s policy

Most financed purchases include a lender’s policy. Buyers should also get an owner’s policy. Ask escrow which policies are on your file.
