Our Role: What we do for you.
In the state of Arizona, title companies perform a dual
function. We issue policies of title insurance and act as settlement
or escrow agent.
We issue Title Insurance
Owner's Policy - Protects the buyer against loss incurred
if defects in title appear. In general, it is said that an owner's
policy provides the buyer with protection against adverse matters
that affect the title to his or her property.
Lender's Policy - Protects the lender's interest much
like an owner's policy protects a buyer's interest. However, lenders
usually insist on more extensive coverage than buyers. In general,
the lender is concerned with protection against title defects
and with the priority of its recorded loan.
We act as Settlement or Escrow Agent
This is a very involved portion of the transaction. We accumulate
documents, funds and information for your closing. When all necessary
parts are in place, the closing takes place according to the buyer's
and seller's written instructions. Because of this, buyer and
seller may do their part of the closing at different times. There
is no need to gather together at a closing table to complete the
transaction.
