What is Title Insurance for Residential Transactions?
Title insurance protects homebuyers and mortgage lenders from potential issues with an ownership title when buying real estate. A lender may even require you to purchase a Lender’s Title Insurance Policy to protect the lender for the amount of your loan if the lender suspects there could be an undisclosed problem or a hidden defect within the chain of title. Keep in mind that this type of policy only protects the lender, and if you want to protect your own interest in the property, you will need to purchase an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy for the full value of the property.
Typically, title insurance can protect you and your lender from these title issues:
- Outstanding property taxes
- Fraud or forgery of previous paperwork
- Spouse’s or unknown heir’s claim to the property
- Deeds, wills, and trusts with incorrect names
- Unpaid mortgages or judgments
- Unknown easements or liens
- Undiscovered encumbrances like newly uncovered wills
- Public record errors
- Invalid divorces
To figure out what your title insurance should cover or if it can protect you from a current issue with a residential real estate title, come to Albers & Associates right away. Our attorneys are available to help you with any matter related to title insurance, such as purchasing a policy or using its coverage if something goes wrong with a transaction.

How can a family law attorney help me?
An experienced family law or divorce attorney can protect your rights, help you understand your options, represent your interests in mediation or court, and guide you through what can be a very emotional process. We focus on helping you make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.

What if my spouse doesn’t want the divorce?
You can still move forward with your divorce if your spouse is against it. In Maryland, you don’t need your spouse’s consent to file for divorce. If they refuse to cooperate, the case may become contested, but it can still proceed through the court system. If they refuse to acknowledge your case at all, the judge may rule everything in your favor by default.

How much does a divorce cost in Maryland?Costs vary widely depending on the complexity of your case and whether it’s contested. A straightforward, uncontested divorce typically costs less, while a contested divorce involving custody disputes, alimony, or property division can be more expensive. We can give you a clearer picture of what costs you can expect after learning about your specific situation during an initial consultation.
