Dear Associates:
It has come to our attention that closing personnel are failing to review Deeds of Conveyance and other similar instruments at the time of closing in order to be sure that they conform to the present existing commitment. As you are aware, deeds and similar instruments can create interests that would otherwise be exceptions to the title policy and, therefore, noted in Schedule "B". However, if one fails to note such matters, the document will then be placed of record resulting in our failure to note an appropriate exception; all resulting in potential for claim.
Based upon the above and foregoing, please direct your closing personnel to
review deeds and similar instruments with the above stated purpose in mind.
