The Consequences of Not Having a Title Insurance Policy

Securing title insurance for your commercial property is paramount to protect your interest in the real estate itself. However, some people don’t understand just how important title insurance is when purchasing commercial property. In this article, we are going to talk about some of the consequences that may arise when you don’t have a title insurance policy for your commercial property.

Hidden Errors in the Chain of Title

One of the first things steps in underwriting title insurance is a title search. The purpose of searching through the entire history of the chain of title is to find and resolve any hidden errors that exist in the ownership history of the property in question. Clearing up such errors will help protect against future problems with your claim on the property.

Potential Claims Against Your Property

If you have unresolved errors or defects in the chain of title, that opens the door to someone bringing a claim against your property. That’s bad enough on its own, but on top of that, if you don’t have title insurance, you will need to defend your claim on the property on your own. If you have title insurance protecting you, then your title company would help defend against such claims.
