Fidelity National Title

Once all the terms and conditions of the instructions of both parties have been fulfilled, and all closing conditions satisfied, the escrow is closed and the safe and accurate transfer of property and money has been accomplished.

In Escrow, both the buyer and seller can move forward separately but simultaneously in providing inspections, reports, loan commitments and funds, deeds and more, using settlement as the central depositing point.

An escrow is an arrangement in which a disinterested third party, called an escrow holder or settlement agent, holds legal documents and funds on behalf of a buyer and seller, and distributes them according to the buyer's and seller's instructions.

Fidelity National Title conducts a diligent search of the public records for those documents associated with the property. We then examine those recorded documents in order to determine if there are any rights or claims that may have an impact upon the title to the property. Matters that are discovered in the search can be excepted, resolved or extinguished prior to the closing of the transaction.

Unlike other forms of insurance, the original premium is your only cost as long as you own the property. There are no annual payments to keep your Owner's Title Insurance Policy in force.

Title insurance provides evidence of title and insures ownership of real property. It is of utmost importance that you are protected against pre-existing title defects to the property when you purchase real estate. In order to do so, you must first be informed of any existing rights or claims that may, in the future, threaten your title and possession to the property. Title insurance provides you with this protection.
