[WSBARP] Title Co won't insure JTWROS

[Mark Anderson]

You say Timid Tile insured the JTROS title as to the Grantees.  As such, it is now liable to defend the validity of that title.  Make the claim and see how they respond to it.

Subject: [WSBARP] Title Co won't insure JTWROS

Timid Title Co wrote and insured a JTWROS deed in 2019.  One of the co-tenants died.  Survivor has a pending sale on the property.  Survivor signed a lack of probate affidavit and provided a death certificate.   Timid Title Co is the title and escrow company for Survivor's 2021 sale.

Timid Title Co won't insure Survivor's sale to new buyer because Decedent didn't sign any acknowledgement at closing in 2019 that he was taking title as JTWROS.  Remember, Timid Title Co was the company that closed the 2019 purchase for Decedent and Survivor.

Timid Title Co insists that Decedent's children approve of the 2019 sale in 2021 so that the 2021 sale can close.  Decedent's children don't like Survivor, and are not willing to sign away any claims they may have to Decedent's share of the property.

What claims can Survivor bring against Timid Title Co or its underwriters?
Timid's underwriters may be Fidelity or Old Republic...checking.
