Title Insurance Claims LawyerGenerally, title insurance claims are made when a homeowner’s real property rights are affected by a defect, lien or encumbrance brought by a third party. Common issues giving rise to a title claim include boundary disputes, divorce, and in today’s world a wrongful foreclosure. A lot of times, these issues arise when a title search is conducted during the sale or refinancing of the property. One aspect of title insurance that most people aren’t aware of relates to the duty of a title insurance company to defend a property owner from a claim. The duty to defend is a broadly defined duty, meaning even if the title insurance company doesn’t think you can win your case they still may have an obligation to defend your rights. Of course, under certain circumstances if they do defend you, they may be able to seek recovery from the homeowner for the cost of defending the claim. There are, however, things one can do to protect themselves from this possible outcome. An experienced title insurance attorney can advise you of your rights and guide you through the title claim process.
