Mortgage Glossary
Term of Loan
The amount of time you have to repay the mortgage loan, usually expressed as a number of months. For example, the term for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is 360 months (30 years X 12 months).
Title
See Certificate of Title.
Title Insurance
Insurance that protects you and the lender from losses that may result from disputes over the property's title. Typically, you purchase two separate policies: The Lender Title Insurance, which is a part of your closing costs, and separate insurance to protect your interests.
Title Search
The examination of public records to determine that the seller is the legal owner of the property you're purchasing. The title search is a standard part of your closing costs. It is conducted by a real estate attorney or title abstractor.
