Fidelity Natl. Title Insurance Co. v. New Haven Fi
In 2005, Charles Green, Sr. (Charles Green) and Albert Rawlins (Rawlins) began their long-running battle for the pastorship of Apostolic Bible Way Church, Inc. (Apostolic). The dispute involved multiple lawsuits as well as an appeal to Apostolic’s governing church body. Eventually, Rawlins acquired control of the church and its properties.
In 2007, while the pastorship was in dispute, Charles Green obtained a $150,000 loan secured by a deed of trust against one of Apostolic’s properties. Five years later, the loan defaulted and the lenders commenced foreclosure. After the deed of trust was declared null and void, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (Fidelity), the lenders’ title insurer, paid $150,000 to its insureds to settle their claim.
