When will you get the title policy?
Typically, title policies are issued within 30 to 60 days
after closing. This is because the title company needs to record the deed and
mortgage documents with the county recorder's office, and then update the title
search to reflect the new ownership and lien status. Once the title company
verifies that there are no changes or issues with the title, it will issue the
title policy and send it to the insured parties.
