Family court judges are the largest perpetrators.

I bought Owners Title Insurance when we closed. I want to say it was $500?

Probably didn't need it considering there's a big fat mortgage attached to it

This always bugs me. Isn’t a title company getting paid to do this properly, then I’m supposed to buy insurance myself in case they frick up?

Lenders title required, owners title OPTIONAL.

Title insurance protects you from problems with the title that existed before you bought the property, not for things that happen after. It is not BS. Ask any bank.


This is correct. Think if someone puts a lien against the property after you bought it against the prior owner, this protects you in theory.

Who would you rather sue for the error - the broke arse attorney or billion dollar insurance company?

I am curious about this, as I inherited my home, I have the papers from Attorney, but no other proof I own it. It is paid for.
The attorney didn't file the deed?

Let me guess, public adjuster convinced you the insurer owes and now youre seeing bad faith dollars. This is why the industry is bailing on La


Wrong...insurance offered an extremely low initial offer...so I had to hire my own adjustor to come inspect damages...turns out the insurance missed a ton of damage and undervalued what they did find. To help better illustrate the initial damage assessment from insurance was 20% of the actual damage amount.

If the insurance companies were just a little bit honest, then none of the above would happen.

Better hope you discover the error within 3 years or youre SOL with malpractice

Sounds like we should have tighter regulations on that then rather than forcing consumers to take out insurance on licensed professional services.

I was in the clerk of courts office here one day and ask them the same thing and they said it’s not possible
