Title insurance is a form of insurance that guarantees the ownership of property by a specific party, known as the policyholder. In the simplest terms, title insurance protects your investment by ensuring that the property you own is owned by someone else (the beneficiary) and not just claimed to be so. It is a highly specialised form of insurance. The policyholder of such an insurance policy assumes the legal responsibility that comes with ownership of the property, in exchange for paying a premium. There are several types of title insurance. Some policies cover the entire property, while others are limited to specific portions (e.g., the deed or mortgage). There may be different rates for title insurance based on location and the property's value.

A commercial title insurance policy serves purposes. It protects the insured from liability for defects in title (the legal ownership status of land). It ensures that liens do not encumber the property. Title insurance may also cover the condition of the title to the property, protecting against claims for defects in title or encumbrances. Title insurance also protects against property loss, such as fire, theft, or flood. The coverage provided by a title policy is usually in the form of replacement cost coverage. Replacement cost coverage is a form of loss-of-use coverage. The policy would pay the insured for the property's fair market value and any additional cost necessary to replace the property if lost.

The terms policy, supplemental policy, and endorsement are often used interchangeably. However, they are not the same thing.

The current average cost of a title policy on a standard home is $100. These policies are usually written by an agent who will also handle your other insurance needs, including car and homeowners. Your local insurance agent can tell you the average cost for your area. You can also ask about discounts for having a homeowner's or renters' policy and other discounts on your insurance premiums. Most agents can provide estimates of their cost for title insurance. It depends on several factors, including the type of policy you have, the coverage you want and your location.
