Bulletin: AR2014002
Dear Associates:
The purpose of this Bulletin is to inform you that an updated version of our rate manual will go into effect August 1, 2014. The new rate schedule is attached for your use. It should be noted that the new rates only affect Endorsements recently added to Virtual Underwriter for use in Arkansas and a reduction in the price of the Usury Endorsement.
Fees for all endorsements are divided between the Agent and Stewart based upon your contractual remittance rate except for Usury and Zoning which are considered to be extra hazardous risks which requires the full charge to be remitted to Stewart.
A new version of our “Rate Calculator” will be made available to you in the near future which will compute these charges and your remittance amount.
Please take some time to familiarize yourself with these new charges.
For questions and assistance regarding this matter, please contact our Arkansas office at 1-800-272-2223.
If you have any questions relating to this or other bulletins, please contact a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter.
