<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any possible claim against the title insurer in the following scenario? Condo is listed and marketed on the MLS as having two specific, numbered parking spaces. The Purchase and Sale Agreement states that the condo is assigned
the two specific parking spaces. Title company receives these materials for their file as usual. An Amendment to the Declaration indicates that the condo is only assigned one or the two parking spaces. The title policy that is issued is a standard Homeowner’s
Policy and excludes coverage for provisions in the Amendment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the day after closing, title agent acknowledges in writing that they were aware that PSA and the listing indicated that there were two parking spots even though they issued a policy that contradicts those details. Title insurer denies
coverage based on the exclusions. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Did the title agent/insurer have a duty to bring the discrepancy to the Buyer’s attention rather than simply issuing a policy that contradicted the transaction documents?
