Title
Title insurance protects against losses due to defects in title. Before issuing a title insurance policy, title companies search and examine title plants or public records to identify liens, claims or encumbrances on the property, and alert you to possible title defects. The premium cost is a one-time fee payable at the time of escrow closing.
We also offer guarantees, so if you are not buying, selling, or refinancing and just want to know details about your property investments, give us a call and we will be happy to assist you!

Brief history
Western Land Title was formed in 1921 by William Snyder and is the oldest running title company in Amador, serving the community for 100+ years. Western Land paved the way as the only title company in the Amador County region up until 1965.
When Judge Martin Ryan and Mary Ryan purchased the company in 1954, they adopted a vision to furnish realtors, financial institutions and the general public with quality title and escrow services in a timely, professional and friendly manner.
Western Land Title still remains in the Ryan family to this day, and strives to achieve the vision set before them, and to continue to be the preferred title company in the area.
