Empire Abstract Corp is a full service title insurance agency that has been in the business in the Empire State since 1974. We are a title abstract corporation as opposed to a title insurance company. While we perform all the services that a title insurance company performs, we are agents as opposed to a direct operation of some of the major national title underwriting insurance companies.
We are title agents for the largest national title insurance companies: First American Title Insurance Company of New York, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company of New York, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, A Division of Land America Title Insurance Company of America and United General Title Insurance Company.
Our role in the process of purchasing and mortgaging or refinancing a home, office building and/or industrial complex is an essential but misunderstood (some say mystical) role in the closing process. We serve as the eyes, ears and defenders of our insured. In navigating from a simple to the complex real estate closing. While the title insurance premium is paid only once, it serves as a shield for the insured from the dangers of fraud, forgery and human error. While we are entering the 21st Century and the technology revolution, the computer is only as accurate as the human person behind it, while to err is human, to forgive is not always divine and that is why title insurance has been around since the founding fathers created our nation.
