Title Insurance Claims

Title insurance provides financial protections to homeowners and mortgage lenders. As title defects can arise in a number of different ways, title insurance offers a recourse. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make a title insurance claim. In fact, in far too many cases, valid title insurance claims are unfairly or improperly denied.

If your title insurance claim was denied, you need to take immediate action to protect your rights.

Understanding the Basics: What is Title Insurance?

When you hear attorneys and real estate professionals discuss title, they are essentially referring to a bundle of ‘ownership rights’. To be clear, title to a property is not the same thing as the deed to a property.

A property deed is an actual legal document — it is something that you can hold in your hand. In contrast, the right of property ownership is conceptual. This is a distinction that matters because, unfortunately, disputes can arise over who exactly owns a piece property.

Title insurance protects property owners, lenders, and other interested parties from losses related to issues with property title. For example, title insurance could protect a homeowner if another party suddenly shows up and claims that they own the property.

Similarity, title insurance provides protection if a construction company appears — claiming that they have a lien on a home because they were never paid for their work. Title insurance also provides financial protection easements over property that may not have been previously known or disclosed.  

Unlike most forms of insurance, title insurance does not protect the insured parties against future events — at least not in the purely technical sense. Instead, it protects them against things that already may have occurred but that may not currently be known information. If you have specific questions or concerns about title insurance or if you are considering bringing a claim, an experienced Texas title insurance lawyer can help.

Do not let them string you along. When any type of dispute arises, action is required. If you fail to challenge the denial, you may lose out on your rights.
