Insurance — title insurance — duty to defend — adverse possession

Trever Sire appeals a summary judgment holding that Stewart Title Guaranty Company had no duty to indemnify or defend Sire in a property dispute involving adverse possession. Sire argues the court erred for several reasons. We agree with Sire that there was arguable coverage for part of the claim, and reverse and remand with directions to grant him summary judgment holding Stewart Title breached its duty to defend. This opinion will not be published.
