A lot of people feel as though buying property in Mexico is a risky investment. They have heard stories of other Americans or Canadians who have come to Mexico and purchased their little piece of paradise only to find out a few years later that the seller was never actually legally permitted to sell the property in the first place. Title insurance protects your investment and allows you to be confident that no liens, encumbrances or other impediments will prevent your free use and enjoyment of the property.
