Sanford Sachtleben and Luciann Hruza v. Alliant National Title Insurance Co.

The Supreme Court of Missouri, sitting en banc, recently ruled in an appeal of a coverage dispute in favor of a title insurer. The property buyers unknowingly got involved in a legal dispute over the land because the sellers constructed a barn on the property in violation of the city’s zoning ordinances. The buyers sued their title insurer when the insurer denied coverage for the dispute.
