Title & Insurance
Navigating the risks of real property transactions
People purchase insurance to protect themselves against a potential loss. When someone buys real property, either commercial or residential, they can purchase a policy of title insurance to protect themselves from a loss relating to the property. The types of losses typically covered by title insurance include monetary losses resulting from defects in the title to the property or from encumbrances on the property that may have been overlooked before the purchase was completed.
In Nevada, the transfer of title to real property is typically handled by an escrow company, which acts as an independent third-party fiduciary. The escrow company handles the receipt and disbursement of funds and the recording of documents transferring title according to instructions given to the company by the buyer, the seller, and the lender.
