For example, let's say Amanda buys a property and the seller provides a general warranty deed stipulating clear title. However, that turns out not to be the case and a third party provides a valid claim to a share of the property. Since Amada took out title insurance, the title insurance company negotiates and pays a settlement with the claimant on Amanda's behalf. Amanda's right to sue the seller then transfers to the title insurance company, which will take action to recover the amount they paid on Amanda's behalf.
