The purchase of Fort Lauderdale commercial or residential real estate is a costly endeavor which can involve a significant amount of risk.

To help mitigate the risk, buyers will often invest in title insurance, which will protect against title defects. Often, title defects are expensive to correct and can render the property unusable for its intended purpose, or unable to be sold. These errors can drastically impact the property’s marketability.

Potential Defects Title Insurance Covers

The collection of real property rights, such as use and possession, is collectively referred to as “title.” In Florida, when parties transfer a title, it’s documented in a “deed” recorded by the county’s Clerk of Circuit Court.

Sometimes known as a “title cloud,” a title defect is any issue or irregularity that negatively impacts the marketability of the title — that is to say if the defect would affect the purchase or sale of the property.

Some potential Fort Lauderdale title defects include:

• Adverse possession
• Forged deeds
• Incorrect or inadequate property or legal description
• Lack of access or legal authority to transfer title
• Prior transfer not recorded
• Recording easement mistake
• Undisclosed or unsatisfied mortgage or lien
