We have also developed subsidiary business in Title Insurance, and have been issued registration under the Insurance Commission of The Bahamas under the name Computitle Insurance Agents Limited. Unlike other types of insurance, which protect a policyholder against loss from some future occurrence (such as a fire or auto accident insurance), title insurance, in effect, protects a policyholder against loss from some occurrence that has already happened, such as a forged deed somewhere in the chain of title. Title indemnity is made as of a specific date, which is usually the date of completion. A one-time premium is paid, and coverage continues until the loan is paid, in the case of a lender policy; and until the property is conveyed to a new owner, in the case of an owner’s policy. Coverage is thus limited to the tenure of the named insured, and does not automatically extend to future owners.

Owing to the pandemic, since the end of March 2020, we have been largely working remotely, with Management staff supervising the office on a rotational basis and other staff working when appointments with the Government Registries can be confirmed. We are replying to messages and phone calls and can be reached via either method.
