Description
Title insurance is key to a healthy and successful commercial real estate transaction. Unlike other insurance, title insurance provides coverage only against title issues arising before the policy date, providing no coverage against future title risks. The unique structure and limitations of title insurance often frustrates insureds since insurers may be able to avoid claim payouts due to policy exceptions, leaving litigation as the only recourse to settle disputes. This makes advance understanding of title insurance structures, endorsements, and exclusions critical.
