Title and closing services provided by 
Commercial title insurance is just like residential title insurance — except it covers commercial properties instead of homes. It protects you from hidden title problems in the property's history that could affect your ownership or your investment.
Commercial deals are different from residential ones. The stakes are higher, the amounts are larger, and the ownership structures are more complex. You might be buying through an LLC, a partnership, or a trust. There might be multiple lenders, investors, or tenants involved. The property might have environmental restrictions, zoning issues, or complex easements. That's why commercial title work needs a different level of attention.
At Wellington Title Company & Closing Services, we handle commercial title and closing services for buyers, sellers, lenders, and investors throughout Wellington and Palm Beach County. Title and closing services are provided by Level 10 Title.
Protects your investment and equity in the commercial property for as long as you own it. Covers title defects, ownership disputes, liens, and other covered problems that existed before your purchase. One-time premium, lasting coverage.
If you're financing the purchase, your lender will require a lender's title policy. This protects the bank's investment in the property. The coverage decreases as you pay down the loan. See Florida title insurance rates.
Commercial deals often need enhanced or extended title insurance coverage to address specific risks — like zoning violations, environmental liens, or access issues. We can help you determine what level of coverage your deal needs.
Commercial title insurance is similar to residential — but there are important differences:
| Feature | Residential Title Insurance | Commercial Title Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Property Type | Homes, condos, townhouses | Offices, retail, industrial, mixed-use, land |
| Policy Amount | Based on purchase price | Based on purchase price (often much higher) |
| Ownership Structure | Usually individual or joint | LLCs, partnerships, trusts, corporations |
| Complexity | Relatively straightforward | More complex — multiple parties, entities, lenders |
| Additional Risks | Standard residential risks | Zoning, environmental, tenant issues, access rights |
| Closing Process | 30-45 days typically | Often longer — more due diligence required |
We handle title and closing services for all types of commercial properties in Wellington and Palm Beach County:
Single-tenant offices, multi-tenant office buildings, and professional complexes. We handle the title work for offices of all sizes throughout the Wellington area.
Shopping plazas, strip malls, standalone retail, and mixed-use retail. We understand the unique issues that come with retail properties — tenant leases, CAM agreements, and shared access.
Warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and flex space. Industrial deals often involve environmental considerations and complex easements.
Properties that combine retail, office, and residential uses. These are among the most complex commercial deals — multiple zoning categories, multiple tenant types, and multiple revenue streams.
Raw land, infill lots, and development parcels. Land deals require careful attention to zoning, environmental restrictions, access rights, and utility easements. We handle title searches for development land throughout Palm Beach County.
Apartment buildings, condominiums, and multifamily rental properties. These deals involve tenant considerations, HOA issues, and complex ownership structures.
A commercial title search is more detailed than a residential one. Here's what we look at:
We trace every transfer of the property going back as far as records allow. For commercial properties, this often involves more complex ownership structures — LLCs, partnerships, trusts, and corporate entities. We verify that every transfer was properly authorized and recorded.
We check for all liens, judgments, mortgages, and encumbrances on the property. Commercial properties often have more liens — contractor liens, tax liens, UCC filings, and assessment liens. We find them all.
We verify the property's zoning classification and check for any land use restrictions, conditions, or variance requirements. This is especially important for development land or properties being repurposed.
We identify all easements, access rights, and restrictions that affect the property. For commercial properties, these can be complex — shared access roads, utility easements, drainage easements, and more.
While not a full environmental assessment, we flag any environmental liens, brownfield designations, or regulatory issues that appear in the title records. These can affect the property's value and your ability to develop or use it.
Commercial closings are more involved than residential ones. Here's what we handle:
If the buyer or seller is an LLC, partnership, or corporation, we verify that the entity is properly formed, in good standing, and that the person signing has the authority to do so. This is a critical step that's unique to commercial deals.
We prepare all the closing documents — deeds, affidavits, title commitments, and closing statements. Commercial deals often require additional documents like tenant estoppels, subordination agreements, and SNDAs.
Commercial deals involve larger amounts and more complex fund flows. We handle wire transfers, escrow management, and ensure all funds are properly distributed to the appropriate parties.
If you're doing a 1031 exchange, we work with your accommodator to make sure the exchange is properly structured and documented. We have experience with both simultaneous and delayed exchanges.
After closing, we record the deed and mortgage with Palm Beach County and deliver all final documents to the parties. We make sure everything is properly documented and filed.
Once closing is complete, we issue the commercial title insurance policies — both owner's and lender's. This protects your commercial investment from hidden title problems.
Commercial real estate transactions involve more complexity than residential ones. Here's why the title work matters even more:
Commercial properties are worth more — and the deals are bigger. A title problem on a $500,000 home is serious. A title problem on a $5 million office building is devastating. The title insurance coverage needs to match the risk.
Commercial properties are often owned by LLCs, partnerships, trusts, or corporations. Each entity has its own rules about who can sign, who can authorize a sale, and what documents are required. We verify all of this before closing.
Commercial properties generate more liens — contractor liens from improvements, UCC filings from equipment financing, tax liens from operating businesses, and assessment liens from infrastructure improvements. Our title search finds them all.
Commercial properties are subject to more zoning and environmental regulations. A zoning violation or environmental lien can significantly affect the property's value and your ability to use it as planned.

Commercial title work is just one piece of the puzzle. Here are the other services we offer:
The core protection is the same — it covers hidden title problems. But commercial policies are tailored to the unique risks of commercial properties: more complex ownership structures, more liens, zoning issues, and environmental considerations. The premium is based on the purchase price, just like residential.
Your lender will require a lender's policy. Owner's title insurance is optional but highly recommended — especially for commercial properties where the stakes are higher. It's a one-time cost that protects your investment for as long as you own the property.
A commercial title search typically takes 5-10 business days, depending on the complexity of the property. More complex properties (large parcels, multiple parcels, long ownership history) may take longer. We'll give you a timeline estimate when you contact us.
Yes. We work with 1031 exchange accommodators regularly. We understand the strict timing requirements and documentation needs of a like-kind exchange. See our investor services page for more details.
That's common — and we handle it regularly. We verify the LLC is in good standing, that the operating agreement allows the sale, and that the person signing has the authority to do so. This is a critical step in any commercial closing.
Contact us with the property details — address, purchase price, property type, and any relevant information about the deal. We'll put together a quote based on your specific situation. Every commercial deal is different, so we tailor our approach to your needs.
