k DISPUTED OWNERSHIP
When you buy a home,
determining your rights of
ownership "can result in a
courtroom battle if you wind
up on the receiving end of
a land title challenge. A re
cent example in a midwestern
state will illustrate.
In this situation, a buyer
we!ll call Mr. Jones purchased
Jay ficulty ahead.
The property at the time
was occupied by another
party we’ll call Mr Green,
who allegedly was renting the
real estate.
After the closing Mr.
Green -- the tenant - brought
legal action against Mr. Jones
the buyer-claiming he had a
previous right to purchase the
property and stating that a
deed allegedly releasing Mr.
Green’s ihterest in the real es
tate was fraudulently obtained
As the court proceeding
continued, a settlement was
reached where Mr. Green-the
tenant—was confirmed as the
buyer of the home; Fortu
nately, the financial loss and
legal fees of Mr. Jones were
completely paid by his own
er’s title insurance.
It’s wise to look into the
protection of a title search
and owner’s title insurance
before you buy a home. Learn
ing about these-and other
aspects of purchasing real
estate will help you better
plan for secure and enjoyable
ownership.
