First American Title Company inserted language into their Preliminary Title Insurance for a Real Estate Owned (REO) foreclosure.  In the "exceptions" (to coverage) section, FirstAm inserted the paragraph "The initiation of any governmental, court or other proceeding by any borrower, mortgagor, creditor or other person(s) challenging the foreclosure process establishing the interest insured herein."  


This clause would basically void their responsibility to insure the title should any previous issue with the foreclosure process arise.  Fortunately I caught the language, marked it out, and requested an amended title insurance document, which I subsequently received.  



Homebuyers of foreclosures beware!  Read your title insurance, and mark out provisions that favor the title insurer in the event of legal challenges to the foreclosure process.
