Michael v. Stock, PICS Case No. 17-0581 (Pa. Super. April 11, 2017) Solano, J. (30 pages).

By | April 21, 2017
Trial court erred in granting summary judgment to title insurer and holding that title insurance policy did not cover the lot at issue and in awarding summary judgment on appellant's bad-faith claim because there were material issues of fact where title insurer provided "real estate transactional services" and allegedly drafted the deed that allegedly covered only one of two lots and there was a dispute whether the reference in the policy to "County Parcel 4-18-28," which included both lots, was sufficient to include the second lot under policy coverage. Vacated.
