<p class="MsoNormal">It’s possible there might be a claim against the title insurance company but it’s unlikely. Most limited common elements are assigned by the condominium declaration (as opposed to being assigned by the declarant in the deeds to the original
purchasers) and the declaration would have been listed as an exception in the title policy.

<p>I would wonder whether this would be something that would give rise to title insurance coverage. Some condo parking spots are deeded, so that seemingly would be clear. This is not one of those HOAs, however.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">During a transaction to purchase a condominium, Buyer received materials from the HOA Board that proved to be false. The Board provided written confirmation that the unit was assigned two specific parking spaces. Relying on this written
confirmation, Buyer completed the purchase. Several months later, the Board advised that one of the parking spaces was not actually assigned to the unit and reclaimed the parking space by painting it to designate it a handicap space. Buyer has claims against
the Seller and the HOA. What viable causes of action does the Buyer have against the HOA? Thanks for your input.<o:p></o:p></p>
