This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in initially underwriting (i.e., assuming the risk and assigning premiums) insurance policies to protect the owners of real estate or real estate creditors against loss sustained by reason of any title defect to real property. It has no schema of its own: companies here are mapped on the Financial services schema, and what it does not cover is recorded as gaps.
