Title insurance is not simply a checkbox at closing.
It is critical protection for lien priority, collateral value, and loss recovery when a loan goes bad. This webinar will examine the essential role lender’s title insurance plays in protecting financial institutions. Participants will review real-world scenarios, learn when and how a title defect becomes an insurable claim, and understand the steps lenders must take to preserve coverage.

Title insurance is often treated as a closing formality, but for financial institutions, it plays a far more critical role by protecting lien priority, preserving collateral value, and supporting loss recovery when a loan defaults. When title issues arise, an institution’s ability to enforce its rights may depend entirely on the scope and quality of its lender’s title insurance coverage. This program will explain how seemingly minor title exceptions, missing endorsements, or post-closing oversights impact lien enforceability and recovery outcomes. We’ll address real-world scenarios financial institutions encounter, explain when and how a title issue becomes an insurable claim, outline the steps lenders take to preserve coverage, and highlight common mistakes that jeopardize recovery or insurer cooperation.
