What Does Home Title Insurance Cover? 
Home title insurance covers the expenses that could result if the title on your home is not clear . A `` non-clear '' title happens when older transfers of the title are done improperly or mistakenly . An example of being done improperly is when one person sells an entire property in fee simple , but he only owned fifty percent as a tenant-in-common . An example of being done mistakenly is recording a deed that fails to mention an easement . In order to resolve these issues you need to hire an attorney to go to court and clear the title . Title insurance will cover costs to clear the title .
