A Title Insurance Agent is a licensed professional who issues insurance policies created with the intent of protecting the lender or owner against lawsuits or claims against a real property that arise from disputes over titles or land boundaries. Title defects or liens can cause financial loss to a client or their lender that a Title Insurance policy would help protect against.

As of April 2014, it is now required that those performing the duties of a Title Insurance Agent in the State of New York obtain a Title Insurance License.

In the case that there is a lawsuit over a title, the title insurance policy will serve the client by first defending against the lawsuit and if any financial loss is incurred, the policy will reimburse the insured for monetary loss, up to the amount outlined in the policy.

The two types of Title Insurance are Owners Insurance and Lenders Insurance, which protect the property owner and the mortgage company, respectively from any title issues. …More

Title insurance is especially important in large commercial real estate transactions where the buyer and their lender have a lot of money at stake. It is also required by nearly all institutional lenders.
