Additionally, if you acquired your property between 2000-2005, chances are its value has doubled by now. While this is undoubtedly good news, it also highlights the need to ensure that your title insurance is up-to-date and provides adequate coverage.

Title insurance fraud is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue, and data suggests that homeowners from the above-mentioned time frames are at the highest risk. Title insurance is vital to safeguard your property against potential fraud, such as forged deeds or fake claims on the property.

Typically, title insurance policies only cover up to 200% of the purchase value of your home. As your property’s worth may have significantly increased, it’s crucial to reevaluate your coverage to guarantee the utmost protection.
