Title Services
Title insurance protects the buyer against possible liens, improper documentation or other risks associated with a property. In Illinois, it’s the seller’s obligation to provide this insurance. With title insurance, your transactions will close with no complications
EFA attorneys protect your property rights and guarantee your ability to buy or sell with confidence. Prior to your closing on the property we examine and verify all associated legal documents, which ensures the title can be legally transferred between the prior owner and the new owner.
We conduct a thorough search of public and private records looking for potential legal pitfalls such as previous liens, tax issues, ownership disputes, forgery or fraud and other possible issues that could affect the property.
Once we’ve searched the records and verified the owner’s right to sell the property we will commit to providing you with title insurance – giving all parties peace of mind. Then we’ll help close the transaction!
