What Title Insurance Does NOT Cover
Understanding the Limits
Title insurance doesn't cover everything. It won't cover new issues. Zoning or environment problems aren't covered. We tell you what isn't covered. We suggest other insurance for extra safety. New laws affecting value aren't covered. We suggest extra policies for full safety. For instance, if a new zoning law affects your property value, title insurance won't cover this. It's crucial to understand these limitations to ensure comprehensive protection through additional policies. Understanding these exclusions helps you prepare adequately by securing additional coverage, such as homeowner's insurance or environmental hazard policies, to fill in the gaps. Additionally, title insurance does not cover issues like property condition or market value fluctuations, so having a comprehensive insurance strategy is essential.
