- ForgeryMost real estate has passed through several previous owners. Title insurance protects the new owner from past defects in the title when the property was transferred from one owner to the next. Sometimes these defects arise many years after you own the property. They can arise due to forgery, mistakes recording the deed, missing heirs who appear with a claim, lien or other problems that could have occurred during the chain of title. If you finance the purchase of the property with a mortgage, the lender will require you to purchase title insurance to protect the lender from loss. In addition, the property purchaser should purchase an owner's policy to protect themselves from title defects.
