Clarity before closing
Closing day should come with explanations, not a stack of documents and a pen.
Deeds, mortgages, judgments, tax liens, policy terms, signatures, deadlines, and funds all affect your transaction. You deserve time to understand what you are signing and a clear answer when something needs attention.

Can I choose my title agency in Utah?
Yes. Your agent, builder, or lender may recommend a title agency, but Utah consumers can choose an agency. All title agents and escrow officers must be licensed by the Utah Insurance Department.
Verify a Utah insurance licenseWhat does title insurance do?
Title insurance protects against covered losses tied to certain ownership or title problems that arose before you acquired the property. The title search and commitment are designed to surface record issues and spell out the conditions, exceptions, and exclusions that apply.
Read the Utah Insurance Department title insurance FAQsWhat is the difference between the commitment and the policy?
The commitment comes before closing and describes the conditions under which a title insurer is willing to issue coverage. The policy is issued after closing and provides the actual coverage, subject to its terms, exclusions, and exceptions.
What do you need to start an order?
You can begin with the property address, parcel number, or owner's name. Tell us what you need, and the team will follow up for additional transaction details.
How much will title and escrow services cost?
Costs depend on the transaction, the amount of insurance, filed title rates, and applicable escrow or service charges. Sutherland Title provides a current, itemized estimate so you can see the charges and compare the bottom-line total before closing.
Review the CFPB's closing-service shopping guidanceWhat should I expect at the signing?
Your escrow officer will walk through the closing documents, explain what you are signing, and answer your questions. Every Sutherland Title escrow officer has more than 20 years of experience.
Does an owner's policy renew every year?
No. In Utah, the title policy premium is paid once at closing. How long coverage continues depends on the policy and the insured's interest in the property.
How should I verify wiring instructions?
Do not rely on changed wiring instructions received only by email. Call the title company or your licensed real estate agent using a trusted phone number and verify the information before sending funds.
