Title insurance is a type of insurance that provides protection from financial losses due to defects or unresolved issues in a property’s history. The history of a property includes ownership, liens, and other claims on the property, this is all referred to as “title”. Title insurance safeguards buyers and lenders from potential problems like undisclosed liens, ownership disputes, or errors in public record that could affect the current ownership of the property. Unlike other types of insurance that cover future events, title insurance protects against past issues that may surface after you purchase the property. The title insurance premium is usually a one-time payment made at closing.

When talking about real estate, there are two meanings for the word “title”.

Title can refer to the current ownership of a property. “Who is on title to the property” is just another way of asking “who owns the property”.

Title can also refer to the history of a property. Every parcel of real estate in Florida has a history of owners, liens, and other claims throughout its legal history. By saying a property has “clear title” it means that the current owner of the property has full, undisputed ownership of the property free from claims that arose under a previous owner’s ownership of the property.
