Title Exclusions
The United States Court of Appeals Case for the Third Circuit recently addressed what steps a title insurer must take to except certain restrictions from coverage when an ALTA 9 Endorsement is issued. The court ruled that to expressly except a restriction found in the endorsement, a title insurer must list the actual restriction in Schedule B. The decision raises a multitude of questions regarding how specific title insurers will need to be to ensure that the restriction is in fact expressly excepted.
