Who handles title insurance at a Saskatoon closing?

A buyer's lawyer handles title insurance at a Saskatoon closing, arranging the policy through a provider as part of registering the transfer with Information Services Corporation, and folding the modest premium into the legal fees, $800 to $1,500, charged to complete the file, so a buyer typically never deals with the title insurer directly.

This is separate from the actual title transfer itself, which the lawyer completes through Information Services Corporation regardless of whether title insurance is added, since ISC registration and private title insurance are two different protections working alongside each other.

Because the lawyer selects the provider by default, it is worth asking whether that is the only option available, particularly if a buyer wants an owner's policy added and wants to compare what it would cost through a different provider.

Raise it with your lawyer early rather than at the closing table, when there is little time to compare. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
