Why Home Title Insurance Matters in Warren County
As a residential title company serving the Lake George region, we see title issues unique to this market — informal camp ownership transfers, undocumented dock easements, and boundary lines that haven’t been surveyed in decades. Home title insurance protects you against exactly these kinds of hidden defects.
Owner’s Title Insurance
Protects your purchase price and equity for as long as you or your heirs own the property.
Lender’s Title Insurance
Required by most mortgage lenders to protect their interest in the loan.
Seasonal Property Coverage
Camps and vacation homes receive the same thorough protection as year-round residences.
What Your Residential Policy Protects Against
Forged deeds, undisclosed liens, boundary disputes, missing heirs, and clerical recording errors — issues that even a careful title search can sometimes miss until they surface later.
Residential Title Insurance for Every Type of Home
From a first-time buyer’s starter home in Queensbury to a multi-generational family camp on Lake George, our residential title company applies the same thorough review and the same protection — scaled to fit the property, not the other way around.
Common Questions
Is residential title insurance required in New York?
Lender’s title insurance is typically required to close a mortgage; Owner’s title insurance is optional but strongly recommended to protect your own investment.
Does a seasonal camp need the same coverage as a year-round home?
Yes — the same protections apply, and are often more important given the likelihood of undocumented historical easements or boundaries.
How much does residential title insurance cost?
Typically 0.5%–1% of the purchase price, paid once at closing.
Can I get title insurance if I'm paying cash, with no mortgage?
Yes — Owner’s title insurance is available (and recommended) regardless of whether you’re financing or paying cash.
How long does my residential title insurance policy last?
An Owner’s policy lasts as long as you, or your heirs, own the property — it’s a one-time premium with lifetime coverage.
