LA ALTA Endorsement 2 (Truth-in-Lending)

Guideline Document
V 1

Explanation:

This endorsement may be attached to mortgage policies only. It protects the insured lender against rescission under the Federal Truth in Lending Act. This endorsement is rarely requested. In fact, if you are requested to issue one, I would recommend calling underwriting counsel to discuss the situation.

The right of rescission may apply if

  1. the lien is a security interest in the borrower's principal dwelling
  2. the loan is not a purchase money mortgage
  3. the borrower is a natural person.

Underwriting Requirements:

The underwriting requirements are as follows:

  1. Verify that property is not residential.
  2. Determine whether mortgagor-owner is a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership.

Charge: $25.
