Title insurance is a key component of all real estate transactions. It is especially important for commercial real estate transactions, which often involve a large financial investment, complicated title matters, and other difficult issues to be addressed and resolved.

Attorneys handling commercial real estate transactions should work closely with the title insurer to make sure that the title insurance policies to be issued meet the requirements of the buyer and the lender. Title insurance company underwriters are a valuable asset to attorneys and lenders during this process.
