This page gathers general information about title insurance, escrow and closing, and wire fraud for people buying or selling a home in Twin Falls and across the Magic Valley. Each card is short by design and points to the source that keeps the official details.
What follows is general information only. It is not legal, tax or insurance advice, and nothing here is a promise or a prediction about any particular property. For guidance on your own transaction, speak with a licensed title company, an attorney, or a tax professional.
Title insurance is a policy that can help protect an owner or a lender against certain covered claims against a property's ownership that come up after closing. Before issuing a policy, a title company searches the public record to see who has held the property and what has been recorded against it.
Buyers should ask for the title commitment, read the exceptions it lists, and ask how the premium is calculated for their purchase.
Escrow is typically a neutral third party that holds the documents and the funds for a transaction and closes the sale according to written instructions signed by the parties.
Buyers and sellers should read the settlement statement line by line before signing, and ask about the closing timeline, how the funds must arrive, and what identification to bring.

Criminals impersonate title companies and send fake wiring instructions by email, hoping to redirect a buyer's money to an account they control.
Confirm wiring instructions by calling the title company at a trusted official number before you send any money. Do not use a phone number or a link that arrived in a suspicious email, even if the message looks routine. If you think a wire has gone wrong, call your bank immediately and ask it to recall the transfer.
