Real Property – Title Insurance – Availability – Civil Practice – Summary Judgment – Conflicting Evidence

M&T Group, LLC v. Palmetto Point of Williamston, LLC. (Lawyers Weekly No. 010-002-11, 3 pp.) (John W. Kittredge, J.) Appealed from Anderson County Circuit Court. (J. C. Buddy Nicholson Jr., J.) S.C. S. Ct. Click here for the full text of the opinion.

Holding: Even though the plaintiff-buyer’s title insurance company refused to cover title from the defendant-seller, since the seller submitted evidence that such coverage was available, there is a genuine issue as to whether the seller took the necessary steps to correct the title insurer’s objections.

Summary judgment for the buyer is reversed. We remand for trial.
