Title Insurance

Definition of Title Insurance as it relates to Real Estate, Real Estate Management

Title insurance is a type of indemnity insurance that protects the holder from financial loss sustained from defects in a title to a property. It ensures that the buyer is acquiring marketable and insurable title to the real estate, free from liens or encumbrances other than those disclosed in the policy. Title insurance is typically obtained during the real estate closing process, and it can provide coverage for both residential and commercial properties. The policy may protect against issues such as fraudulent signatures, undisclosed heirs, and mistakes in public records, among others. Real estate management professionals often recommend title insurance to their clients to mitigate risks associated with property ownership.
