Real Estate and Title Closing Practice

Real Estate and Title Closing Practice

Providing real estate and title services throughout the region, Horn Williamson’s Real Estate and Title Closing Practice is an approved agent for First American Title Guarantee Company and Conestoga Title.

Why do I need Title Insurance?

When you buy a home or property, you want to be sure the property will be yours and that no one will have liens, claims or other encumbrances against your home (other than your mortgage!).

For a one-time premium, you can receive the protection of a title insurance policy against hidden risks, including:

• Forged documents
• Invalid documents
• Unsatisfied liens and judgments
• Unpaid taxes and other lienable municipal charges

Why chose Horn Williamson for your purchase or sale?

Purchasing and selling property is often the largest financial transaction a person or business will undertake.

We are a full-service Title and Settlement company dedicated to ensuring a smooth transaction by providing professional services including title insurance, title searches, closing and escrow services, document preparation and document review for all transactions.

Buyers are often unaware they pay more for title services when selecting title companies operating as Title Agents instead of Approved Attorneys. As Approved Attorneys, we can offer substantial savings that Title Agents are not able to offer their clients. In addition to providing cost savings, we can review your matter and offer legal advice that typical title companies are unable to provide when issues arise before, during or after settlement.

Many questions arise before—or at—closing. What are restrictive covenants? Should I transfer my property to a trust? What are the differences between tenancy in common, joint tenancy and sole ownership? These are all questions that can be answered by an attorney but not necessarily a title company. Using a qualified title attorney for the purchase or sale of your home provides you a one-stop shop that can save you time and money.

Clear Title

A thorough title examination is critical for the success of your real estate transaction. Head problems off from the beginning of your transaction by having a qualified title attorney examine your title search results. Deeds recorded in the incorrect jurisdiction, liens on a property, properties that are in trust, are all issues that qualified title attorneys can identify and resolve prior to closing.

Real Estate Litigation

When necessary, Horn Williamson’s Real Estate and Title Closing Practice is ready to provide representation in real estate litigation, title disputes, title clearing litigation and estate matters related to real estate transactions.

Our attorneys have experience resolving matters involving boundary disputes, quiet title actions, petition actions and reclamation actions, as well as experience with probate and inheritance taxes related to the sale or transfer of a property.

Our Real Estate Transactions and Title Closing Practice is led by Attorney Jennifer Horn.
