A buyer moved into her condo with plans to renovate it. When she started taking out the walls, she saw fibers, which turned out to be asbestos. The reporting letter her lawyer had prepared when she was closing on the property hadn’t mentioned asbestos. The lawyer had missed the asbestos in their searches, and now that it had been disturbed, it all had to be removed. Fortunately, the lawyer included the Deal Protection Endorsement to the title insurance policy and the insured was covered for the costs.
