Jones v. Commonwealth Land Title Ins. Co. CA4/2
Keith and Patricia Jones bought an undeveloped parcel of land on an unpaved road and built a house on it. The Joneses obtained title insurance for the parcel from Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, which provided coverage if the parcel lacked a “right of access.” After the house was nearly completed, the Joneses’ construction company told them that their house was “landlocked,” meaning there was no easement to connect the house to utilities or a public road.
