When obtaining a mortgage loan, title insurance is typically required to protect the lender. The lender’s title insurance policy ensures that the lender has a valid lien on the property and protects against potential claims on the title, such as unpaid property taxes, liens, or ownership disputes.
While owner's title insurance protects the buyer, the lender’s title insurance is required to protect the financial interest of the lender.
