Dear Associates:
Due to the recent decision by the Nevada Supreme Court in the case of SFR Investments Pool 1 LLC vs. US Bank, questions have arisen regarding the issuance of loan policies and endorsements to lenders making loans secured by condominiums, planned unit developments, or other common interest developments with a homeowners association. At this time, the only changes to our underwriting procedures are that 1) in lieu of issuing an ALTA 9 (or a CLTA 100) for a lender’s policy, issue the ALTA 9.10; 2) in lieu of issuing an ALTA 4 for a lender’s policy, issue the ALTA 4.1, and; 3) in lieu of issuing an ALTA 5 for a lender’s policy, issue the ALTA 5.1.
If you have any questions relating to this or other bulletins, please contact a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter.
