Title Insurance

Title insurance protects against risk of loss of title, as well as the costs of litigation to defend against insured title claims. When a legal action results from a qualified claim with respect to a title defect or encumbrance, the insurer defends the insured throughout the litigation process and assumes all legal fees and costs. Title Insurance provides a standard solution for title-related issues and restrictive covenants, which can affect the value of the property and the cost of financing, as well as the ability to close a real estate transaction. Additionally, the due diligence required by the title insurance underwriter effectively “bridges the gap” between the expertise of local counsel and the transaction expertise of U.S. counsel. Title insurance is particularly important today, when property owners and lenders are increasingly financial institutions and corporations, managed by professionals with fiduciary obligations to protect their investors against the legal risks inherent in real estate transactions. Protect your investment in real estate by placing the financial strength of our underwriters behind the title to your property.
