Marketable Title
Marketable title is title that is reasonably free from material doubt or probable litigation risk such that a prudent purchaser would accept it. In NY practice, parties often operationalize marketability through "insurable title" (a title insurer's willingness to issue a policy subject to stated exceptions).
