Owner Policy: This type of title policy protects your property rights.
The owner’s policy is an insurance policy that protects the purchaser against title defects. The policy assures that the property is vested in the purchaser's name as intended at closing. It also protects against losses such as hidden defects, unknown liens and encumbrances, and ownership rights for as long as you own the property.
Lender Policy: This type of title policy is usually required by your lender and protects only the lender’s interest.
The lender policy, also called the loan policy, is an insurance policy that protects against the same defects as an owner's policy but it is intended to protect the lender's interest.
