A: Title determines ownership. Not insurance. See an attorney to determine your course of action under Louisiana law.
Charles M. Baron agrees with this answer
A: You have grounds to take legal action, and you may want to first have an attorney send a demand letter to see if the matter can be resolved without litigation. You may have grounds to seek a court judgment requiring transfer of title to you, and if not that, at least grounds for monetary compensation.
