Real Property, Financial Services, & Title Insurance Update: Week Ending May 8, 2020

Title Insurance Update

  • Duty to Defend: Where title insurance policy "conceivably" covered Native American tribe's treaty right to harvest shellfish from the property and there were no applicable exceptions to coverage, title insurer owed a duty to defend and in failing to do so it breached that duty and acted in bad faith in doing so because the breach was "unreasonable" given the uncertainty in the law - Robbins v. Mason Cty. Title Ins. Co., No. 96726-1 (Wash. Sup. Ct. May 7, 2020) (affirming court of appeals and remanding for further proceedings)
