Buying real estate—whether it’s a home, land, or a commercial building—is often one of the largest financial decisions a person makes. Buyers spend time comparing interest rates, reviewing inspection reports, and negotiating terms, yet many fail to focus on something equally critical: title protection. This is where CNAT title insurance policies become essential. They protect buyers and lenders against hidden risks that could threaten ownership rights long after the keys are handed over.

At CNAT Title, our mission is simple: make every real estate closing smooth, transparent, and worry-free. Through our closing services and title insurance offerings, we help homeowners in Fort Worth, Dallas, and the entire DFW market safeguard what they worked hard to purchase.

What Is Title Insurance?

Title insurance is a one-time purchase (paid at closing) that protects you from financial loss if a problem arises with the title of your property. Unlike home or auto insurance—which protects against future events—title insurance covers past issues that may not have been discovered during a title search.

A few examples include:

• Errors in public records
• Forged documents or fraudulent transfers
• Unpaid taxes or liens
• Missing heirs or unknown ownership claims
• Incorrect legal descriptions

These problems can appear without warning, sometimes months or years after closing. Without title insurance, the buyer may be forced to fight legal battles alone or even risk losing the property.

Why CNAT Title Insurance Policies Stand Out

Every property has a history, and no two real estate transactions are the same. CNAT title insurance policies are designed to ensure buyers and lenders stay protected through every stage of the closing process. At CNAT Title:

• We conduct detailed title searches to locate potential issues.
• We verify ownership and ensure all liens or legal claims are resolved before closing.
• We support buyers and sellers with clear communication, handling every document with precision.

Our goal is not just to sell title insurance—it’s to give clients peace of mind.

Owner’s Policy vs. Lender’s Policy

When you purchase real estate, there are typically two types of CNAT title insurance policies involved:

1. Owner’s Title Policy

Protects you, the buyer, for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
Coverage includes hidden defects such as fraud, forgery, or undisclosed heirs.

2. Lender’s Title Policy

Required by most mortgage companies to protect the lender’s financial interest.
This policy remains in effect until the mortgage is paid off.

Even if a lender has coverage, that does not protect the buyer. That’s why an Owner’s Policy is crucial—it protects your equity, your investment, and your future.

Why Title Issues Happen More Often Than You Think

Many people assume that after closing, the property is legally theirs forever. Unfortunately, problems do arise. Public records can contain mistakes. Signatures may have been forged on past deeds. A previous owner may have passed away without a will, leaving behind heirs who later appear and pursue legal ownership.

Some common title complications include:

• A previous owner failed to pay property taxes or HOA dues.
• A contractor filed a lien after work was performed but never paid.
• A legal document was executed under duress or by someone who lacked the legal capacity to sign.

CNAT title insurance policies protect against these situations and more.

How CNAT Title Supports a Smooth Closing Experience

Title insurance is only one part of what CNAT Title provides. Our team personally guides clients through the entire closing journey, from opening escrow to signing the final documents.

Our approach includes:

Clients choose CNAT because we believe in personalized service. Every client deserves a closing that feels secure and effortless, not stressful or confusing.

A One-Time Cost That Protects You for Life

Unlike most insurance plans, title insurance involves no monthly payments or annual renewals. It is a one-time fee included in closing costs. Once paid, coverage lasts as long as the buyer owns the property.

Considering the potential legal and financial consequences of a title defect, the protection it delivers is invaluable.
