NJ ALTA Loan Policy 1992 Guideline 2-08

Guideline Document
V 1

Explanation:

A Loan Policy is issued to a lender making a loan secured by a mortgage on a parcel of land. The policy insures against the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the mortgage and against loss or damage should the priority of the mortgage be other than is shown in the policy.

The policy designates the vested owner of the estate or interest insured and excepts to those defects, liens and encumbrances which in the judgment of the insurer should appear in the policy. The policy is not a report or abstract of title. Instead, the insured is indemnified against loss or damage should matters exist which are not shown in the policy.

The insuring provisions of the policy are broad. However, their coverage is limited by the Exceptions in Schedule B, the Exclusions and by the Schedule of Conditions and Stipulations contained in the policy.
