Many companies in the Orlando, FL area sell title insurance. But a lay title agency (one that's not affiliated with a law firm) only prepares documents for closing and issues your title insurance policy.
A lay title agency cannot:
- Prepare contracts
- Resolve title or inspection issues
- Give you legal advice regarding the content of documents you sign during the closing
Since your ownership rights must be legally protected, a person trained in the complexities of real estate law is best qualified to issue your owner's title insurance policy. That's your real estate attorney. Since the fee for title insurance will be about the same with or without a real estate attorney, it just makes sense to get the added value of an attorney's legal advice and counsel.
