Title Insurance Litigation

Title Insurance Litigation

Counsel for Title Insurers and Insureds in Complex Claims and Litigation

Title insurance matters present issues that are distinct from general real estate disputes. Coverage questions, policy obligations, curative work, recoupment, escrow and closing disputes, and claims involving fraud or title defects require counsel who understands both the underlying real estate issue and the title insurance policy.

Winter Capriola Zenner represents national title insurance companies and insureds in title insurance claims and litigation. Our work includes coverage analysis, defense of claims, recovery efforts, curative litigation, and disputes arising from closings, liens, priority, fraud, forgery, and defects affecting title. When a matter involves a broader dispute over property ownership, use, possession, boundaries, easements, or other real property rights outside the scope of a title insurance claim, our Real Estate Litigation team represents clients in those disputes throughout Georgia.

Our attorneys have litigated and tried title-related matters in state and federal courts, including jurisdictions outside Georgia. Members of the firm are active in title insurance and real estate litigation organizations, and attorney Kelsey Grodzicki is the author of the LexisNexis Practice Guide: Georgia Real Estate Litigation and a contributing Practical Guidance Author for LexisNexis on Georgia real estate topics.
