He moved to Billings to join his son Quinn in purchasing First Montana Title. They take pride in offering fast, friendly customer service and are eager to provide all of your title and escrow needs for residential, commercial, farm/ranch, and new construction transactions, as well as 1031 exchanges.

There are two types of title insurance: owner’s and lender’s insurance. The owner’s policy insures the purchaser that the title to the property is free from defects or encumbrances that would make a title unmarketable except those found during the title search listed as exceptions in the policy. The seller in the transaction purchases owner’s insurance. A standard coverage insurance policy typically covers:

Ownership – another party claims ownership rights on a property
Public Record Error – a document is not properly signed or recorded
Forgery, Fraud, and/or Duress – another party has owner rights in your property due to forgery or false impersonation
Undisclosed heirs – an unknown heir claims ownership to the property
Liens – a creditor from the previous owner attempts to enforce a lien
Unmarketable Title – a defect in the title that makes it difficult to convey to another party
Right of legal access – an owner does not have legal access to his/her property
A lender’s policy is purchased by the buyer of the property and insures the validity and enforceability of the lien of the lender’s mortgage or deed of trust. The lender is insured for the loan amount. As the loan is paid off, the amount of coverage decreases until the balance is paid off in which case the policy terminates.
