It’s a scary thing when someone brings a title claim against your property. Many people don’t know what to do or where to start in such a situation. In this article, we are going to discuss the recommended steps you should take if another party brings a title claim against your property.

Write a Letter to Your Title Company

If another party brings a title claim against your property, the first thing you should do is write a letter to your title insurance company informing them of the situation. This letter should describe the issue and include backup documentation about the nature of the claim and who is bringing the claim.

Let the Title Company Investigate

Upon receiving your letter, the title company will begin their investigation into the claim. This process may involve:

  • Contacting the title agent who issued the policy

  • Reviewing documentation related to your property

After the investigation is complete, your title company will respond and advise if your claim has been accepted, denied, or if additional time is required before making a determination.
