Unlike traditional insurance that protects you against something in the future, title insurance protects you from something in the past. You only pay a premium once, at the time of the closing.

A title exam is an examination by a title agent of all public records that affect the property a buyer is purchasing. The title agent reviews prior mortgages, judgments, and liens to make sure they were all paid in full and past wills, deeds and trusts, making sure the title has passed correctly to each new owner. The title agent is looking for unpaid taxes, an unsatisfied contractor’s lien, a boundary dispute, or fraudulent documents – any issue that can interfere with your purchase.

Excel Title Services accurately and promptly performs Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and litigation searches throughout the U.S. Excel Title Services can also ensure the proper filing of UCC-1 financing statements and any UCC-3 amendments in all states.

In foreclosure matters, Excel Title Services is an experienced provider of Preliminary Judicial Reports and Judicial Commitments. Foreclosure occurs when mortgage lenders take possession of real estate to recoup losses on a defaulted loan. When foreclosure begins, the lender obtains a title report to verify certain information about the property.
