Hexagon Title Company, Inc., is a locally owned title insurance company.
Our company originated in 1985. We are an agent for First American Title Insurance Company.
Hexagon has been managed by Cheryl A. McNamee since January 1989. In 1997 we moved our office
to our current location at the Cornerstone Building, 100 Wilburn Road, Suite 100. We are a full
service title company for Dane County properties. We also have a network of agents servicing
all counties in the State of Wisconsin.
When the ownership of real estate is conveyed from one person to another, it is
important that the buyer gets some assurance that he or she is receiving good title to the property.
In the past, this proof of good title was accomplished with an abstract of title.
An abstract of title is a summary of all legal documents recorded or filed at the county courthouse
in connection with a certain parcel of real estate.
In order for you to know that all the legal work had been performed properly on a property,
you would hire an attorney to study all the documents. The attorney would then give you a written
opinion stating whether or not you would be receiving a clear title to the property. Because the attorney’s
opinion was only an opinion, however, and not a guarantee, some problems could arise such as a forgery
on a deed or some challenge by a previous owner or lien-holder.
Today, abstract have become obsolete. Insurance is available that protects you against challenges to
your rightful ownership of real estate. Known as Title insurance, it is an actual insurance policy that is
provided for the buyer. Title insurance covers the cost of defending your right to the ownership of real
estate. If your rights are challenged, the title insurance company will pay the costs of defense and will
insure you up to the purchase price of the property. Title insurance is a much safer method of protecting
your ownership rights than an abstract of title, and in most cases is required by your mortgage holder.
