Good Fortune Company purchases land improved with a building and buys an owner’s title insurance policy in connection with the purchase. The policy is a standard policy with no special endorsements.

Does Good Fortune have any valid claim against the title insurance company because of this issue?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Good Fortune does not have a valid claim against the title insurance company. The risks posed by zoning and government regulations are items not insured against in an owner’s title insurance policy. An owner can get some protection by purchasing a zoning endorsement. The example states that no special endorsements were purchased.
