Answer B: A security instrument using a new, larger loan that includes and 'wraps around' an existing mortgage, allowing the seller to retain the original loan

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.
