Owner's and lender's title insurance policies that protect your investment against hidden defects, fraud, and claims against your property.
Start Your OrderService overview
A one-time premium at closing provides lifetime protection for you and your lender. Owner's policies guard against prior claims, forged documents, missing heirs, and recording errors. According to ALTA (American Land Title Association), title insurance resolves thousands of claims annually that would otherwise threaten homeowners' equity. We issue policies from the nation's leading underwriters so you're covered long after closing day.
Decision points
Title insurance is a one-time premium paid at closing — there are no ongoing monthly or annual fees.
An owner's policy protects your equity for as long as you or your heirs hold an interest in the property.
A lender's policy is required for any financed purchase; it protects only the lender's interest, not yours.
Title insurance covers defects that a title search can't catch — forgery, undisclosed heirs, and recording errors.
Eastern Title issues policies from ALTA-member underwriters including Fidelity National Title and Old Republic.
Common questions

An owner's policy covers you for as long as you or your heirs hold an interest in the property, for a single premium paid at closing.
A lender's title insurance policy protects the mortgage lender up to the loan amount and is required for any financed purchase. An owner's policy protects the buyer's full equity and is optional but strongly recommended. Eastern Title issues both policy types from the nation's leading underwriters.
