Title Insurer Denies Late Claim, Presented After Foreclosure Invalidates Insured Mortgage
September 10 2017 (subscription)
A lender who held a mortgage, insured by First American as a first lien, was served with a foreclosure brought by another creditor who claimed a superior lien.  But the lender did not notify First American of the potential claim until after the foreclosure sale.  The foreclosing creditor actually held a deed of trust granted by the homeowners' small business, a corporation, that didn't actually have any interest in the property.  Although the deed of trust was recorded, it was outside the chain of title and not discovered by the title search.  Nevertheless, the property sold and the sale was ratified by the court.
