It's pretty hard to actually remove something from the record as they are actually there in the deed books and the archived microfilm copy stored someplace in a limestone mine in Boyers, Pennsylvania.  Even though the documents that contains these provisions may not be enforceable, that doesn't mean we title insurance professionals should out-of-hand remove them from our title reports.  And just because a particular discriminatory provision may not be enforceable now, it could very well be that other provisions in the same document still apply.  I would much rather list these documents in my list of exceptions from coverage, and let the lawyers decide how many angels get to dance on the head of the title pin on their own dime.  If some idiot wants to stop a neighbor from boiling bones, and if I have that restriction listed in my title report, at least my policy won't have a claim against it when someone decides to make a pea soup from a ham hock.
