Title Abstract/Search
A Title Abstract is a summary of public records pertaining to
the title of a specific piece of property. An attorney or
title insurance company reviews the title abstract to determine
whether there are any concerns (defects of title) which must be
cleared before a buyer can purchase a clear and insurable title
to the property.
Title Insurance
Insurance issued by a title company in order to protect the
property owner against loss if it is discovered that the title
to the property contains a defect. In the event the insured
owner suffers a monetary loss due to a lien or other title
defect, the title insurer defends the insured against a lawsuit
attacking the title, or provides reimbursement up to the amount
of the title insurance policy.
Definitions:
- FHA Loan: A government mortgage insured by the Federal
Housing Administration.
- VA Loan: A mortgage loan guaranteed by the Veterans
Administration and issued to qualified veterans or the surviving
spouses of veterans.
- PHFA Loan: Loans made by the
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
- Subprime Loan: Subprime loans rely on risk-based pricing
to serve borrowers who cannot obtain credit in the prime market.
