Title Insurance

Your best defense: premier investment protection with our title insurance

AIC procures aircraft title insurance for both owners and lenders for any US/FAA registered aircraft. FAA aircraft ownership regulations and laws affect very mobile and expensive equipment which can make for some pretty complex and risky transactions.

We can obtain trusted title insurance protection against:

  • Forged or fraudulently submitted instruments in FAA records.
  • Improperly or insufficiently executed escrow closings.
  • Interests filed AFTER ownership change documented in FAA records by lien claimants not in possession of an aircraft before the equipment (and policy) were purchased.
  • Federal tax liens up to $250,000 (or face amount of policy, if less than $250,000). Federal Tax Liens are NOT filed at the FAA!
  • And much more.

TITLE OPINION VS. TITLE INSURANCE


Former American Banking Association CEO and former Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating discusses the pros and cons of obtaining a legal opinion of title versus title insurance when purchasing an aircraft.

Lien Clearance

Clearing the way to close your transaction

Our lien clearance service takes care of the time-consuming task of cleaning up aircraft title problems. Title searches often reveal old liens or clouds on an aircraft or engine’s title. For the new owner to have a clear title, that lien must be released, and a cloud on a title corrected.

We’ll contact the necessary parties and get the corrective documents on your behalf, if available, and make sure you’re clear to close.

AIC’s Lien Clearance Service is your alternate solution to the time consuming task of cleaning up aircraft title problems. We’ll contact the necessary parties and get the corrective documents on your behalf (if available). This is an investigative service to help the growing numbers of aircraft owners who find themselves facing titles that are encumbered with errors.

International Registry

AIC interacts with 140 of the world’s 196 countries annually.

The International Registry — under the legal framework of the Cape Town Convention — may impact your aircraft transaction. This treaty covers airplanes certified with eight or more total seats and helicopters certified with at least five seats and engines rated at 550 horsepower or more.

The registry’s procedures are simple but rather technical. If you do not follow them correctly, your lien will be at risk and you may lose these interests to competing creditors or purchasers. It requires a professional to execute and interpret your title search and registration accurately. Ours are standing ready to help you get quality legal opinions and/or title insurance covering these risks.

  • Owning, leasing, & financing engines and documentation
  • Cape Town FAA aircraft registration
  • Importing & exporting aircraft
  • Lien perfection

Escrow

Trust our expert aviation Escrow agents to handle all your closing needs.

Your AIC Escrow agent will act as the central contact person for all parties to your transaction, including: buyers, sellers, lending institutions, brokers, attorneys, insurance agents, accountants and other professionals or party representatives.

Typically, transaction funds are wire transferred to our Escrow Bank Account. During this time, our escrow agents receive, organize and review the documents related to your transaction for compliance with FAA rules and regulations.

On the day of closing, your Escrow Agent receives instructions from the parties as to the disposition of the funds and the documents. If everything is in order and the documents to be filed at the FAA are in proper form, we will wire the funds and file the documents at the FAA in accordance with the instructions.

AIC reserves the right to decline any escrow. Further, if a controversy arises, we will return all monies and documents to the remitters thereof, unless contrary to proper written instructions, or interplead the funds with the courts. Any legal fees, court costs, or related fees that are incurred in any of those instances will be paid, prior to remittance, out of the funds held in escrow.
