National Title and Closing Services, Inc. as your escrow agent:

An escrow agent is an entity that has fiduciary responsibilities in the transfer of real estate property from one party to another party. Typically associated with selling or buying a home or other property, the escrow agent will secure the property and examine documents to make sure that the terms of the sale are met on each end, serving both the buyer and seller in the transaction.

An escrow agent may be a title company such as National Title & Closing Services, Inc when it comes to a home; the title company will hold the deed in escrow until all of the terms of both the buyer and seller are met. The buyer may deposit the money for the purchase with the escrow agent, which serves to "validate" the transaction prior to last-minute closing terms.

The purpose the escrow agent serves is that of a neutral, trusted third party to transactions that may involve persons who never end up meeting each other.

Why Do You Need Title Insurance?

To protect possibly the most important investment you’ll ever make – the investment in your home or real estate. The lender goes to great lengths to minimize the risk of lending money for the purchase of real estate. Then, the lender seeks assurance that the quality of the title to the property, which has been pledged as security for the loan, is satisfactory. The lender does this by obtaining a loan policy of title insurance. This policy does not protect the borrower. The loan policy protects the lender against loss due to unknown title defects. But, this policy only protects the lender’s interest. It does not protect the borrower. That is why a real estate purchaser needs an owner’s policy, which can be issued at the same time as the loan policy. Title insurance is issued after a careful examination of copies of the public records. But even the most thorough search cannot absolutely assure that no title hazards are present. Title insurance will pay for defending against any lawsuit attacking the title as insured, and will either clean up title problems or pay the insured’s losses. Owner’s title insurance, issued simultaneously with the loan policy, is the best title value a property owner can get.

What Title Insurance Protects Against:

False impersonation of the true owner of the property
Forged deeds, releases or wills
Undisclosed or missing heirs
Instruments executed under invalid or expired power of attorney
Mistakes in recording legal documents
Misinterpretations of wills
Deeds by persons of unsound mind
Deeds by minors
Deeds by persons supposedly single, but in fact married
Liens for unpaid estate, inheritance, income or gift taxes
Fraud
