YOU ASK:
Does title insurance cover incorrect property boundaries?
WE ANSWER:
Yes, title insurance also provides coverage for incorrect property boundaries.
This may mean expenses involved in correcting wrong property boundaries.
For example, a complaint has been filed against you that you have encroached on your neighbor's property at the time you built the fence around your property. It was shown that you have incorrect property boundaries. The insurance company will pay (subject to specified limits) for expenses incurred when you have to tear your fence down and build another one that follows the correct boundaries.
