Packed full of practical analysis, this 1,884-page volume adds 200 court decisions not found in the 2024 edition. The digital version is available immediately, and print copies will ship in March.
New analysis can be found on multiple subjects, including:
- Decisions that illustrate the evolving law on wire transfer fraud, highlighting suits against title agents, escrow companies, banks, real estate agents and fraudsters
- The important California decision on highest and best use analysis in a diminution in value appraisal, especially what the decision does not mean
- Solid decisions holding that Schedule A is not a Covered Risk, and the policy does not assure the right to build on the insured lots or sell them separately
- The new decision holding that an escrow officer disclosed a possible fraudulent transfer by listing the deed in the title insurance commitment
- The decision holding that loss due to the lack of a right of access is not measured as the cost to build a driveway and failure to prove diminution means the insured collects $1
- Several excellent decisions on the insured's duty to cooperate in clearing title
- And much more! Click here to see more info on the new analysis.
The Title and Escrow Claims Guide is the ultimate research tool not only for attorneys but also claim handlers, underwriting personnel, title examiners, escrow officers and regulators. The author, J. Bushnell Nielsen, Esq., continues to share his 43 years of knowledge and experience in title insurance through this publication.
