Answer B: B. All mortgage transactions, where the lender requires protection of their security interest against title defects

Lenders almost universally require a lender's title insurance policy (ALTA Lender's Policy / Mortgagee Policy) for any mortgage transaction. This policy protects the lender's security interest (lien) against title defects that might impair the lender's ability to foreclose or recover the full loan amount.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
