Answer 1

d.) Title insurance is one of the fees that is paid at the closing of a home purchase when it is finalized.

There are two types of title insurance.
1) Lender's Policy Title Insurance - this is an insurance to assure the lender the you own the home and that the mortgage applied is a valid lien. This happens when you buy a house through bank financing.
2) Owner's Policy Title Insurance - this is an insurance policy that protects you as the owner of the house when third party contests your ownership of the house.
