Whether for owners, lenders or tenants, title insurance is an important component of any real estate transaction. To assure appropriate coverage, it is essential to focus not only on coverages but exclusions. We are familiar with each aspect of the basic form coverages and the availability of endorsements to address the unique circumstances of every property. Many of these endorsements and the modifications to coverage they represent are negotiated with the title insurer. We know the underwriting considerations that affect issuers' willingness to extend coverages, and enjoy working relationships with all major title insurers that help us achieve appropriate protection for our clients.
