An Owner’s policy is title insurance policy that protects purchasers of real estate against loss resulting from a defect in title. If the insured suffers a loss as a result of title defect, the title company will reimburse the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses, up to the face amount of the policy.
A title insurance policy will:

• PROTECT THE INSURED FROM FINANCIAL LOSS due to covered claims that may be asserted against the title to the real estate, up to the face amount of the title policy
• PAY LEGAL COSTS if the title insurer has to defend the title to real estate against a covered claim
• PAY ALL SUCCESSFUL CLAIMS against the title to the real estate covered by the policy, up to the face amount of the policy.

A title insurance policy covers claims arising out of title problems that could have been discovered in the public records, and also cover claims for defects that could not be discovered in the record, even with the most complete search.

A Lenders policy is title insurance policy that insures the mortgagee (being the lender in the mortgage document), against loss caused by invalidity or unenforceability of the mortgage lien, which might occur as a result of defective title, or against loss of priority of the mortgage. The amount of insurance for the Loan Policy is based on the dollar amount of the loan; by design, the amount of insurance decreases each year as the loan is paid off.

Although the borrower usually pays for the cost for the Lenders Policy, it provides no protection for the property purchaser. For the purchaser to obtain title insurance, a separate Owners Policy must be issued.

There are two kinds of policies available for residential property in Pennsylvania; the more comprehensive “Enhanced Policy”, and the “Standard Policy” that provides less coverage but has a slightly lower premium.
