Title insurance is a type of insurance policy that protects the insured party (usually the property owner or lender) against financial loss due to defects in the title to a property. These defects could include errors or omissions in public records, undisclosed liens, or other issues that could affect the legal ownership of the property.

Title insurance policies are typically issued after a title search has been completed by a qualified professional, such as a title company or real estate attorney. The policy provides protection against any losses or damages that may occur as a result of defects in the title that were not discovered during the search.

Title insurance policies can be purchased by either the buyer or the lender in a real estate transaction, and the cost is typically a one-time fee that is paid at the time of closing. The specific terms and coverage of the policy may vary depending on the type of policy purchased and the jurisdiction in which the property is located.

Title insurance is an important protection for property owners and lenders, as it can help to prevent financial losses and legal disputes that could arise from title defects.
