Is title insurance available in Guatemala? Do First American or Stewart cover Guatemalan property?

There is no domestic title-insurance market of the US or Canadian kind; local practice rests on the registry certificate and the notary's public faith, according to a local broker (a commercial claim). First American Title (international division) states that it runs due diligence and issues dollar policies in more than 40 approved countries, with title-search supervision in 35 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, but Guatemala's specific inclusion in that list was not confirmed. Stewart Title offers international policies for cross-border transactions by US companies (the “Global Across the Board” policy, an indemnity contract under US law); its only Latin American subsidiary that issues locally is Mexico (STGMEX). The regional practice described is that US insurers issue policies over foreign property after due diligence by approved local lawyers.
