FAQ — Alpine Title of Moffat County LLC

Question 1

What is title insurance?

Accepted Answer

Title insurance protects homeowners and lenders against financial loss from defects in a title to a property. It covers issues such as liens, encumbrances, or other defects that may have existed before you purchased the property.

Question 2

Why do I need title insurance?

Accepted Answer

Title insurance protects your investment in your home. Even with a thorough title search, hidden defects can surface after closing — such as forged documents, undisclosed heirs, or recording errors. Title insurance provides peace of mind and financial protection.

Question 3

What is the difference between an Owner's Policy and a Lender's Policy?

Accepted Answer

A Lender's Policy (also called a Loan Policy) protects the lender's interest in the property. An Owner's Policy protects the buyer's equity and ownership interest. We recommend purchasing both for complete protection.

Question 4

What is escrow?

Accepted Answer

Escrow is a neutral third-party arrangement where funds and documents are held until all conditions of a real estate transaction are met. Alpine Title acts as the escrow agent, ensuring a smooth and secure closing process.

Question 5

How long does the closing process take?

Accepted Answer

The closing process typically takes 30–45 days from the time a purchase agreement is signed, though this can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and financing requirements.

Do you offer after-hours services?
