Purchasing government-seized real property in New Orleans and across Louisiana requires a clear property title. Identifying and notifying anyone with a publicly recorded interest in the property and correcting any previous title defects are critical first steps in protecting your property deed. Title insurance protects investments in adjudicated property from the effects of past fraud, forgery, and liens. With a single premium paid at closing, US National Title Insurance Co. defends your investment for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
Protecting Your Louisiana Real Estate Investment
The majority of real estate transactions have a problem somewhere in the chain of title. We examine public records to locate any flaws in your title and take corrective action where needed to enable a smooth title transfer. Title insurance offers comprehensive protection and acts as an indemnity contract. We’ll reimburse you for any losses if claims are upheld against your covered property.
Title Insurance Vs. Homeowners’ Insurance
Homeowners’ insurance protects your investment from potential disasters, while title insurance provides protection from past defects in a title. Fraud or forgery during a previous sale, unpaid property taxes, and filing errors are some of the unfortunate issues that can arise following the sale of tax-distressed or adjudicated properties.
Specializing in Title Insurance for Tax-Distressed and Adjudicated Properties Across Louisiana
Extreme care is needed when purchasing tax-distressed properties. Any individuals who may have an interest in the property must be identified, located, and notified prior to the purchase. These parties may include lienholders, government agencies, mortgage holders, or previous owners and their heirs. Filing inaccuracies or instances of fraud during past title transfers must be corrected.
It is possible to insure your investment. US National Title Insurance Co.’s strict underwriting guidelines and risk management tools allow us to responsibly insure government sales of adjudicated properties. Our sophisticated technology and extensive experience with tax-distressed real estate promise an efficient transfer of title and peace of mind for investors.
