A deed or a mortgage may have been made by an insane or otherwise incompetent person.

Reason #19

Claims constantly arise due to a change in marital status and/or defects threatening the validity of a divorce.

Reason #1

While most accidents, such as a fire, destroy only the house and improvements, a defective title may take away not the only the house but also the land upon which it stands.

Reason #10

An heir or other person presumed dead may appear and recover the property or an interest therein.

Reason #16

A deed or mortgage may be invalid because it was signed while the grantor was in bankruptcy.

Reason #5

A deed or a mortgage may have been made under a power of attorney after its termination and would, therefore, be void.

Reason #7

The testator of a will might have had a child born after the execution of the will, a fact that could entitle the child to claim his or her share of the property.

Reason #11

A judgment or levy upon which the title is dependent may be void or voidable on account of some defect in the proceeding.
