Explanation
The effective date of a title insurance policy is the date through which the title search was conducted and the policy provides coverage for matters of record. Title defects arising before the effective date (but not known or excluded) are covered. Matters arising AFTER the effective date are generally excluded. This is why the policy should be issued contemporaneously with closing.
