When working through a commercial real estate transaction, many people ask what a title insurance policy is exactly and question whether they even need one. In this article, we are going to discuss what title insurance is and why you need it in a commercial real estate transaction.
Commercial Title Insurance in a Nutshell
In a nutshell, commercial title insurance protects you from potential future claims against your commercial property that might arise due to a variety of factors. Your commercial title company can provide you with a policy after doing a thorough search through the history of title to your property. During this search, your title company will identify anything that may become an issue in the future (a missing document, a pre-existing tax lien on the property, etc.) and resolve these issues before issuing your policy.
The Benefits of Having a Commercial Title Insurance Policy
There are many excellent benefits to having a title insurance policy for your commercial property. A title policy that’s been tailored to meet the needs of your specific property will help protect your ownership interest in the property itself. Ultimately, this protects you from another party bringing a claim against your property in the future due to some defect or cloud in the chain of title.
