Title Insurance in Costa Rica

Title insurance is a relatively new concept for Costa Rica. Until only recently, it was rather difficult to get title insurance in Costa Rica. Now, there are some very good options for obtaining title insurance when buying real estate in Costa Rica. Title insurance or title guarantees are not required when purchasing property in Costa Rica, unless the buyer is obtaining a mortgage for the purchase. However, many North Americans feel a greater sense of security in having title insurance arranged during the purchasing process. Here are the most well known title insurance companies operating in Costa Rica:
