Protect Your Home’s Title: Overcoming Public Record Errors – True Concept Title

Navigating the Shadows: The Impact of Public Record Errors on Your Home’s Title


Purchasing a new home is an exciting journey, fraught with complexities and historical baggage that could impact your title. It’s crucial to understand that even though your property is new to you, it might come with a past that includes errors in public records—a common issue identified during the title search process.



Errors in public records, stemming from clerical or filing mistakes, can significantly affect the legal status of your property. These inaccuracies might relate to the property’s description, such as incorrect square footage, which can influence the loan amount a buyer is eligible for, potentially derailing the purchase process.

During a title search, various documents are scrutinized for mistakes. This includes judgments, tax assessments, and other records that could affect the property’s title. Unfortunately, buyers have limited control over these historical errors. However, a beacon of hope exists in owner’s policy and title insurance.


Title insurance is pivotal in protecting your ownership rights against errors and defects found in public records. It’s designed to cover legal costs and losses stemming from title defects, providing a safety net for buyers against the unforeseen consequences of public record errors.
