Curative Work
When issues appear, we coordinate with the appropriate parties to resolve them as efficiently as possible.

How Title Insurance Protects Your Transaction
Title insurance is designed to protect owners and lenders from covered claims tied to the property’s past.
Depending on the transaction, that may include things like previously undisclosed liens, recording errors, unresolved ownership questions, or other issues discovered after closing.
Scout Title works with top-tier underwriters to help ensure long-term confidence in your policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a title search cover?
A title search reviews public records connected to the property to identify issues that could affect ownership or the ability to transfer clear title.
What is a title commitment?
A commitment outlines what must be satisfied before closing (requirements) and what items may remain as exceptions. It’s the roadmap for getting to clear-to-close.
How long does the title search process take?
Timelines depend on the property and transaction complexity, but Scout prioritizes timely delivery of the commitment to support a smooth closing.
What types of issues can delay title clearance?
Common delays include unresolved liens, probate-related questions, missing releases, prior deed defects, boundary/easement concerns, or unpaid taxes.
Do cash buyers need title insurance?
Many cash buyers still choose owner’s title insurance because it can help protect against covered title issues discovered after closing.
What’s the difference between owner’s and lender’s title insurance?
Owner’s coverage helps protect the buyer’s ownership interest. Lender’s coverage protects the lender’s interest in the property.
Do you handle commercial and luxury residential transactions?
Yes. Scout has experience supporting large commercial transactions and luxury residential purchases that require careful coordination.
Will I be kept in the loop during the process?
Yes. Scout emphasizes proactive, consistent communication so the parties understand what’s happening and what’s needed next.
What do you need from me to get started?
Typically: the contract (or order), property address/legal description if available, party contact info, and lender/agent details when applicable.
