TitlePLUS is the only wholly Canadian-owned title insurer. Our mandate is grounded in supporting the legal profession, protecting the integrity of the lawyer-client relationship, and keeping legal work where it belongs — with lawyers.

TitlePLUS doesn’t compete with lawyers

Unlike other title insurers, TitlePLUS does not sell title insurance through lender channels.

We don’t bypass the lawyer or attempt to handle legal work on our own. We exist to enhance your practice, not replace it. We remain the only all Canadian title insurer committed to providing coverage exclusively through lawyers and notaries.

Legal Services Coverage

TitlePLUS automatically includes unparalleled Legal Services Coverage for most lawyer prepared transactions.

Legal Service Coverage helps protect your clients against any negligent errors and omissions of the lawyers completing the transaction – at no extra charge.

The TitlePLUS Market Value Endorsement is now available at the time of purchase

Your clients want to know that their TitlePLUS policy will cover them up to the market value of their property should that value rise in the future. The TitlePLUS Market Value Endorsement ensures this enhanced protection.

This addition to the policy provides coverage tied to the home’s market value when a claim is made. If a covered risk arises, compensation is calculated using the property’s current market value, up to 10 million. This coverage applies to natural market appreciation and does not extend to gains resulting from homeowner renovations.

For only 10% of base premium of the owner policy, or a minimum $50, you can give your clients even more protection than ever.

When you buy a TitlePLUS policy for your clients, you are not only supporting the Canadian economy, but you are buying a 100% wholly Canadian-owned title insurance policy.
