A recent study in San Francisco found their foreclosure paperwork riddled with errors. While this is based on a non-judicial foreclosure model very different from Florida's, the underlying title issues are the same. On Saturday, the San Francisco Chronicle included an article about title insurance as a critical protection for anyone buying a previously foreclosed property.
The article includes great quotes from Steve Gottheim, ALTA's regulatory and legislative counsel and past president Anne Anastasi. ALTA has been doing a great job of getting the word out on the importance of title insurance in a world full of robo-signing.
