RE:
UNDERWRITING - Use of Blanket Exceptions in Consumer Title Insurance Policies
Dear Associates:
On June 24th, the Wisconsin Commissioner of Insurance issued a bulletin to all insurers authorized to write title insurance in Wisconsin. This is the link to the bulletin: http://oci.wi.gov/bulletin/0614titleins.htm
You should comply with the bulletin and you should not issue consumer/owner’s policies that include blanket exceptions for matters of record.
If you have any questions relating to this or other bulletins, please contact a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter.
