ALTA: Protecting Your Property Rights
The American Land Title Association (ALTA) is the national trade association representing the title insurance and settlement services industry. Title insurance — backed by ALTA standards — protects homebuyers, property owners, and lenders from hidden defects in a property's title, such as unpaid liens, forgery, errors in public records, undisclosed heirs, or boundary disputes. Unlike other forms of insurance that protect against future events, title insurance protects against past events that may not surface until after closing. A one-time premium at closing provides coverage for as long as you or your heirs own the property, giving you lasting peace of mind that your property rights are secure.
