Title insurance can also provide cover for specific identified property risks such as, inadequate easements, violation of planning/zoning, or legal restrictions, missing deeds and documents, breach of public procurement or tender rules, infringements of rights of light or air, restitution and expropriation of land and breach of inheritance laws. In the event of an issue with the title to property or shares or a known risk crystallising, Title Insurance covers the depreciation in value of a property / company, third party settlements, defence costs, and interest, fines and penalties due (to the extent that these are insurable by law). |
