1
Explanation:
The ALTA Endorsement 14.1 insures against (1) invalidity or unenforceability of the insured mortgage as security for Advances; (2) lack of priority of the lien of the insured mortgage as security for Advances; and (3) invalidity or unenforceability of the mortgage because of Re- Advances and repayments, lack of outstanding debt before an Advance, and failure to comply with legal requirements for Advances; (4) invalidity or unenforceability of the insured mortgage because of adjustment of interest or addition of interest to principal, and (5) loss of priority of the insured mortgage caused by adjustment of interest rates and addition of interest to principal.
This endorsement contains exclusions from coverage (similar to those in ALTA Endorsement 14): advances after a bankruptcy, real estate taxes and assessments, federal tax liens filed more than 45 days before the advance, federal or state environmental protection liens, and usury or consumer credit protection or truth in lending law. Unlike the ALTA Endorsement 14, this endorsement contains an exclusion for lack of priority of any Advance made after the insured has knowledge of a lien, encumbrance or other matter affecting the land.
This endorsement is designed for those states in which the ALTA Endorsement 14 may not be issued. It may be issued on commercial or residential transactions.
