HOME OWNERSHIP

For a competitive, one-time premium, an owner’s title insurance policy provides protection for the purchaser or the existing owner of residential real estate property against fraud and title defects.

The policy remains in effect for as long as the owner retains an interest in the property, offering our insureds comfort that title is protected now and for years to come.

A title insurance policy helps simplify the real estate transaction. This insurance provides unparalleled protection to the purchaser of a property, if only for the protection offered against residential real estate fraud.

Title insurance is complementary to the legal opinion obtained for a real estate transaction.  Title insurance provides coverage that goes beyond what can be offered by a legal opinion and offers an extremely quick claim process for an insured, without having to initiate a complaint or legal action against professionals involved in the transaction.

Our Transaction Protection Endorsement (TPE) is the superior coverage in the market because it provides your clients with actual coverage for losses suffered due to covered errors arising during their transaction. It is no fault coverage for our insured and indirectly protects the legal professionals, as a result.

With TPE coverage, the insured makes a valid claim for their covered loss and we pay it or fix it. Period. 

TPE coverage covers the insured directly and provides legal professionals with indirect but incredibly valuable protection from claims arising from real estate transactions.

  • There is no requirement for a client to make a claim to the law society against the legal professional.
  • There is no need for the legal professional to pay a deductible to the law society for a claim against him/her.
  • Your client won’t need to retain and pay for counsel for a claim against you.
  • Clients won’t need to be involved, potentially for years, in a claim against a legal professional.
  • Legal professionals won’t lose a client because they have a claim against them.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced homeowner, your property needs protecting. Sudden expenses can come anytime, from your town ordering a repair, to a thief stealing your identity. Only title insurance can fully safeguard your home. The coverage lasts for as long as the property is yours, and our team stands ready to tackle any need in communities across Canada.

No matter what life throws at you or your home, a title insurance policy lets you rest easy, knowing CTIC has your back.
