Commercial Title Insurance
Buying a piece of commercial property should involve a title search. This is a deep dive into records to ensure that there are no title issues, such as judgments, liens, easements, and so forth. Should any issue arise, it can often be handled by the seller before the closing to allow the title to be free and clear. At that time, a title insurance policy will be offered.
There are two types of commercial title insurance - an owner’s policy and a lender’s policy.
An owner’s policy protects you, as the owner, from any title issues that arise in the future. This protection will last for as long as you have an interest in the property. A lender’s policy, on the other hand, protects the lender who is taking a risk with your investment. This policy matches the loan and, once it is satisfied, the policy becomes null and void, too.
A few common title issues that commercial title insurance covers include:
-
Judgments
-
Liens
-
Outstanding taxes
-
Fraudulent documents
-
Survey issues
-
Erroneously recorded documents
-
Easements
-
Encroachments
