Study Notes
Title Insurance and Agreements
- A commitment refers to an agreement by the title company to issue a policy at a later date.
- An interim binder and a binder are also terms associated with preliminary agreements for title insurance.
Binder Characteristics
- A binder functions as a temporary insurance agreement but is not considered a full policy of title insurance.
Guarantee of Title
- A "Guarantee of Title" offers indemnification but has only stated liability, meaning it limits the extent of coverage.
- New owners do not receive this guarantee automatically, and lenders may prefer guarantees over policies.
Judgments and Title Reporting
- Involuntary judgments are disclosed in the preliminary title report, which provides an overview of issues that might affect ownership.
Easements
- An easement benefits the dominant tenement, allowing specific rights to usage over the servient tenement’s property.
Judgment Documentation
- A satisfaction of judgment is filed when a judgment is paid off, confirming the debt has been settled.
Recording Requirements
- Both satisfactions of judgments and partial releases should be recorded to maintain accurate public records.
Title Policy Distribution
- Escrow officers typically do not see the actual title policy because it is directly sent to the principals involved in the transaction.
ALTA and CLTA Policies
- An ALTA lender's policy remains effective until a reconveyance is issued, marking the end of the loan obligation.
- A CLTA policy remains effective until the property is conveyed to a new owner, after which the policy ceases to be in effect.
