When preparing a modification endorsement, check the policy to which it will be attached to make sure that the creditors rights exclusion has not been removed. If the policy is a form earlier than the 2006 policy form, contact your underwriter for assistance in modifying the endorsement to remove the creditors rights coverage that may exist.
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
A true vesting deed may not be the last deed in the chain. If the last deed simply returns a fractional interest to the "vestee", perhaps the real vesting is the one by which the grantee obtained the full title, and the additional history of how fractions went out and came back should also be made clear, at least in the submittals for approval reviews.
