Real Estate & Title Insurance

Our Real Estate and Title Insurance Practice involves representing Title Insurance underwriters and their policyholders in claims involving real estate throughout the entire States of Missouri and Illinois.

Our firm devotes more lawyers to real estate and title insurance defense than any firm in Missouri and Southern Illinois and we have an established track record of accomplishment. We have developed a focused expertise in real estate law, title insurance litigation, and policy analysis.

The attorneys of Sauerwein Simon P.C. are routinely called upon to represent Insureds in claims against insured real property under Owner’s and Lender’s policies of title insurance, and work closely with claims counsel to cure title defects, resolve adverse claims to title and defend the Insureds in litigation filed against them. Our attorneys prepare corrective documents to cure title defects and establish an appropriate chain of title. When appropriate, we provide policy and claims analysis for the insurer, opinions on coverage, and regulatory advice. We handle matters involving agency defalcation, cases involving mass mortgage and real estate fraud, Department of Insurance complaints, and multi-party mechanic’s lien litigation and class action suits, contractor fraud, and bad faith litigation.

This firm has handled hundreds of claims involving loan priority disputes, Reformation, Adverse Possession, Quiet Title, Declaratory Judgement, Equitable Liens and Rescission, cases involving easements and access, litigation to determine rights under deeds, trust documents and neighborhood indentures.
