Title deed insurance is being highlighted as a crucial tool to combat declining confidence in Kenya's property market and unlock significant dead capital. This insurance shields purchasers from legal risks associated with property acquisition, offering a safeguard against challenges to ownership.

• An estimated $50 billion (Sh5.5 trillion) in Kenya's properties is considered "dead capital."
• Kenya Re Group, through its Managing Director Dr. Hillary Wachinga, is advocating for this insurance product.
• Title deed insurance covers legal fees and compensates for property loss due to issues like forgery or inheritance disputes, not physical damage.
