In standard Canadian real estate transactions, the homebuyer is almost always responsible for purchasing the title insurance policy. Because title insurance protects both the buyer's equity and the mortgage lender's financial stake against historical defects, boundary errors, or title fraud, the expense is integrated directly into the buyer's closing costs. Real estate lawyers typically order the policy on behalf of the buyer during the closing process to ensure the property title is fully protected from day one.
