Here I will talk about reasons 11 to 20 in part 2 of 70 something ways to lose your home.  If you missed the first 10 ways to lose your home you can read part 1 here. We are talking about the importance of obtaining Title Insurance from a reputable and financially secure company, like Metropolitan Title Company here in Elkhart.  According to Scott York, here are the next reasons you could lose your home:

11.  Deed challenged as being given under fraud, undue influence or duress.

12. Deed following non-judicial foreclosure, where required procedure was not followed.

13.  Deed affecting land in judicial proceedings (bankruptcy, receivership, probate, conservatorship, dissolution of marriage), unauthorized by court

14.  Deed following judicial proceeding, subject to appeal or further court order.

15.  Deed following judicial proceedings, where all necessary parties were not joined.
