New Jersey Title Agent Practice Exam

Post-closing title defects are not protected by standard title insurance. Which statement best reflects this?

True False Only if recorded Only with rider

Correct Answer:

False

Explanation:

Standard title insurance protects against defects in the title that existed at the date the policy is issued, even if those problems aren’t discovered until after closing. So post-closing title defects that stem from a title issue that existed at the policy date are covered by the standard policy. That’s why the statement is false. Coverage isn’t about when the defect is discovered; it’s about whether the defect existed on the policy date. If a defect arises entirely after closing and wasn’t present at policy time, it may not be covered without an endorsement or rider.
