Title insurance is a type of insurance that protects the insured party against any losses that may result from defects in the title to a property. It covers the insured against loss from title defects, liens or other matters that are not known at the time of purchase. It also pays for the legal defense of the insured in case of a lawsuit or other legal action that may arise due to a title defect. Title insurance is a one-time premium that is paid at the time of closing and is generally required for all real estate transactions.
