This article discusses
home title insurance rates. Here is
common misconceptions about title insurance : Insuring the title to
property does not mean the title can never be lost. What it does mean:
If you lose title, you will be compensated. No matter how thorough a
title search is, legitimate claims against it can pop up. Without title
insurance, the cost of defense must be borne by the person being sued.
With insurance, the cost is borne by the insurance company.
See

for more information.
A title search is not the same as title insurance. It's merely an
investigation of records to find out who seems to be the lawful owner of
a particular piece of property.
Suppose your property is taken away because proof develops that some
other party has the rightful claim. Usually you are insured for the
price of the property.
What if the new house is a lemon? A home
buyer may be able to get out of the entire purchase contract if the
seller has misrepresented a house with many serious defects.
Normally, when defects show up after the buyers move in, they can sue
for damages. Some state courts have ruled that two reasons for suing to
void the entire sale are: (1) Misrepresentation of an important aspect
of the house. (2) The presence of many serious defects. One case: The
builder had assured the buyer that there would be no water problem. But
the house was flooded soon after the closing. The court said the related
damage would be impossible to repair.
On a related matter: figures to check at
real estate closing :
Monthly payments.
Per diem figures for utilities, taxes, and/or interest.
The broker's commission.
The rents, security deposits, and/or interest on deposits that have not
as yet been transferred.
A charge for utility bills already paid. A charge for loan fees already
paid.
A contractor, attorney, appraiser, or some other party to the contract
who has not been paid.
And here is a checklist for move to a new
house :
Arrange for the utilities (gas, electric, water, etc.) to be turned on
in the new house or apartment a few days before you move in.
Install the telephone a month before you move (or as early as is
feasible).
Enroll your child in the new local school. Open savings and checking
accounts promptly at a bank in the new neighborhood.
Notify companies of change of address (insurance, credit card,
magazines, etc.).
If you are moving to a new state, check to see if your auto coverage is
applicable.
Notify the IRS of the move both at the time of the move and again when
you file your income tax.
Have pharmaceutical prescriptions renewed
before moving so that adequate amounts of medication will be on hand.
Ask the previous occupant for a list of reliable local service people
(electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc.) and good nearby stores.
Moving outdoor plants to a new home: For a long move, place them in a
plastic bag and cover with wet straw or weeds. If you know in autumn
you'll be leaving in the spring, use a spade to cut a deep circle around
a shrub or young tree to sever the roots and outline the root ball.
