Title insurance is a fundamental part of real estate transactions in the United States and Brazil. In the US, it is standard practice and typically mandatory by lenders, protecting both the buyer and the lender. In Brazil, while gaining importance, it is less universally required than in the US, as the notarial system provides some title protection. The concept reflects different approaches to property law between common law (US) and civil law (Brazil) jurisdictions.
