Exceptions to Title Clause Samples
The "Exceptions to Title" clause defines specific encumbrances, defects, or interests that are excluded from the guarantee of clear title in a real estate transaction. This clause typically lists items such as easements, liens, restrictive covenants, or other claims that will remain attached to the property even after the transfer of ownership. By clearly identifying these exceptions, the clause ensures that both parties understand which title issues are not covered by the seller or title insurer, thereby allocating risk and preventing future disputes over undisclosed title defects.
