Home Buying Guide: What is a Mortgage Insurance Policy?

A mortgage title policy is an insurance policy which will compensate the lender in the unlikely event that the loan is defaulted upon.  Typically, a lender's financial stake in the property is greater than yours and therefore an insurance policy is required.  The policy must be ordered prior to closing and the cost will be charged to you on the HUD Settlement Statement.
You have the right to choose which title company will provide your mortgage title policy unless otherwise stated and agreed upon in the purchase agreement.
