About title insurance
TitlePLUS title insurance is a form of insurance that provides consumers with compensation for losses suffered from title issues, even if they are not discovered until years after the sale is completed. Risks covered by title insurance include unpredictable or undetectable issues such as forgery, fraud, missing heirs, unregistered rights-of-way and other issues that can affect rights of ownership.
TitlePLUS insurance offers home buyers insurance coverage for both the title-related aspects of a transaction and the legal services provided by a lawyer. It also protects buyers and lenders under the same policy (and for the same premium).(1) For homeowners concerned about the increased incidence of mortgage and title frauds, the TitlePLUS program also provides fraud coverage. In addition, through the TitlePLUS OwnerEXPRESS(R) program, current home owners can secure title insurance protection against title-related risks and fraud.
TitlePLUS title insurance was developed by Lawyers’ Professional Indemnity Company (LAWPRO(R)), a wholly Canadian-owned insurance company providing title insurance and professional liability insurance in the Canadian marketplace. TitlePLUS insurance is the only all-Canadian and the only Bar-related(R) title insurance product available in Canada today. It is being used by more than 4,000 lawyers across Canada to better protect their home buyer/owner clients. In 2007, the TitlePLUS program celebrated its 10th anniversary. http://www.titleplus.ca/
