Title Insurance
We provide Title Insurance policies protecting property owners and lenders against financial losses from hidden title defects. Our policies cover legal defense costs and ensure clear property ownership. Backed by Old Republic Title Insurance Group since 1907, our services include both Lenders Policies for financial institutions and Owners Policies that safeguard your property investment against unforeseen claims.
Title Searches
Our Title Search service examines public records to verify legal ownership and identify existing liens or claims. This process produces detailed preliminary reports identifying potential issues. We specialize in uncovering hidden defects like creditor claims, incorrect legal descriptions, and undocumented easements through comprehensive analysis of historical property records across multiple Kansas counties.
1031 Exchanges
We facilitate 1031 Exchanges allowing property investors to defer capital gains taxes during real estate transactions. Our experts manage the complex documentation requirements and strict timelines for qualified exchanges. This service enables clients to transition between investment properties while maintaining tax advantages through proper structure and execution of replacement property acquisitions.

This ensures both buyer and seller protection throughout the process. Our team coordinates fund disbursements and documentation verification to guarantee secure property transfers for residential and commercial transactions.

Questions
Why do I need title insurance for my property?
Title insurance protects against financial losses from hidden defects in property ownership that could emerge even after careful record reviews, covering legal defense costs and potential ownership challenges.
What's the difference between lender and owner title policies?
Lender policies protect mortgage providers' interests, while owner policies defend your personal investment against title claims, covering both financial losses and legal defense costs up to policy limits.

Undisclosed defects like forged documents, mistaken will interpretations, or unknown heirs can challenge ownership rights, potentially requiring legal defense or resulting in property loss if not identified and resolved.

We provide title services throughout Greenwood, Wilson, Woodson, and surrounding counties in Kansas, offering localized expertise combined with national underwriting standards through our partnership.
How long does the title process typically take?
Title examinations and commitment preparation generally require 2-3 weeks, though more complex transactions or identified issues may extend this timeline to ensure complete resolution.
