<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The only issue I see is recovery under the title policy from the underwriter since title insurance provides coverage on claims-made basis. The claim I believe would “ripen” when the owner of the easement would
attempt to use it, and the buyer would block or refuse access to the easement owner and the easement owner filing suit against the buyer.
