Wondering what title insurance actually covers when buying a home in Ontario? Whitby real estate lawyer Jason Lane explains the crucial role title insurance plays in protecting both buyers and lenders from unexpected ownership issues. From hidden liens like unpaid utility bills left behind by the seller to more serious risks such as mortgage and title fraud, title insurance can shield new homeowners from significant financial losses.

While a title search conducted by your lawyer may reveal some concerns, not all risks are visible until after closing. That’s where title insurance steps in, offering protection against certain problems that may only arise after the transaction is complete. Learn why discussing your policy details with a real estate lawyer is essential before signing on the dotted line.

Whitby real estate lawyer, Jason Lane of Devry Smith Frank LLP and Woitzik Polsinelli LLP has extensive knowledge of real estate transactions, and his attention to detail and commitment to client communication help to simplify the process for homebuyers.
