What Is the Purpose of Lenders Title Insurance?

Lender’s title insurance plays a vital role in the home-buying process. If a title defect is discovered after the lender’s title insurance is purchased, the lender can make a claim and recoup their losses. Lender’s title insurance protects the lender against unknown title defects and is designed to protect the lender’s investment in the property. It will cover claims that affect the lender’s loan and protect the lender’s interest. Lender’s title insurance protects lenders and buyers against problems when the title ownership is transferred.

Who Covers the Cost of Lenders Title Insurance in Michigan?

In Michigan, the cost of the lender’s title insurance will typically be the homebuyer’s responsibility. The borrower is usually responsible for paying the cost of the lender’s title insurance policy. In some cases, during negotiations, the lender may agree to cover the cost of the policy for the buyer as a part of the loan agreement. Lenders must disclose the cost of the lender’s title insurance to borrowers. Although the borrower typically covers the cost of title insurance, there are situations where the seller or lender agrees to cover the cost.
