Everyone buys it. As far as claims, I know of one within our brokerage in which we recommended and the buyer purchased extended coverage around the same time everything crashed and we had new construction and partially completed homes which became REO. The owner purchased extended coverage for mechanics liens and surprise- one showed up and saved them $12,000 on their extra $200 purchase.

Personally, yes.  It was resolved with great effort.  Took a resolution from the Dallas City council to fix it.  The previous 2 owners had built a pool half on their property and half on city property.  Took 7 months to resolve.

 File a claim?   Yes.   Title company got a prescriptive easement for a "landlocked" buyer.   They had a local Judge grant it, in writing.
