Escrow & TitleIntermediateColorado Exam

In Colorado, the 'ALTA' (American Land Title Association) lender's policy of title insurance protects:

AA. The buyer against title defects
BB. The lender against title defects up to the outstanding loan balanceCorrect
CC. The seller against post-closing claims, according to common practice
DD. Both buyer and lender equally

Why B. The lender against title defects up to the outstanding loan balance Is Correct

Answer B: B. The lender against title defects up to the outstanding loan balance

The ALTA Lender's Policy (mortgagee policy) protects the lender against losses up to the outstanding loan balance caused by covered title defects. As the loan is paid down, the policy's coverage decreases.

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.
