Frequently Asked Questions

A property title is a legal document that proves ownership of a property. It contains the name of the owner, a description of the property, and any other relevant information about the property's history.

A title transfer is the process of moving the ownership of a property from one person or entity to another. It involves the transfer of the property title and other relevant documents.

A lien is a legal claim on a property that is used to secure a debt. It can be placed on a property by a creditor or a government agency, and it must be satisfied before the property can be sold or transferred.

A title company makes sure the property you’re buying or selling has a clean and legal title. We research ownership history, check for liens, verify legal descriptions, and issue title insurance that protects you from future claims. In short, we make sure what’s yours stays yours.

Yes, you do. Title insurance protects you from financial loss caused by defects in the title — like unpaid taxes, recording errors, or ownership disputes. It’s a one-time premium paid at closing that provides lifetime protection as long as you own the property.

In Texas, the buyer and seller can agree on the title company. However, buyers often don’t realize they have a say. You can absolutely request People’s Title to handle your closing. We welcome the opportunity to serve.

Rates are set by the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), so every title company charges the same basic premium for the policy amount. The difference isn’t in price — it’s in service, communication, and care. That’s where we shine.

Closing is the final step where everyone signs documents, funds are exchanged, and ownership officially transfers. It can take place in our office, remotely, or with a mobile notary. You’ll review your loan documents, settlement statement, and deed — and when all signatures are done, the keys are yours after the transaction is funded.

Most closings take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the type of transaction. Cash deals are quicker. We keep it smooth, accurate, and celebratory — no rushed vibes, just good energy and clear communication.

Bring a valid photo ID, certified funds (if required), wires are preferred with the rising rate of fraud.. Don’t worry; our team will send a checklist before your appointment.
