FAQ

Questions about title and closings?

Here are a few we hear often. For anything else, call our office at 401-546-0330.

What does a title company do?

A title company confirms that a property’s title is clear, issues title insurance, holds funds in escrow and conducts the closing, making sure documents are signed, funds are disbursed and the deed and mortgage are recorded.

Do I need title insurance?

Most lenders require a lender’s policy. An owner’s policy is optional, but it protects your own investment against covered title defects for as long as you own the property.

Do you handle closings in Massachusetts?

Yes. We serve clients throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, for both residential and commercial transactions.
