Escrow & TitleIntermediateNorth Carolina Exam

A lender's title insurance policy in NC protects:

AThe buyer against title defects
BThe lender against title defects up to the loan amountCorrect
CBoth the buyer and lender equally, under standard practice
DFuture owners of the property

Why The lender against title defects up to the loan amount Is Correct

Answer B: The lender against title defects up to the loan amount

A lender's (mortgagee's) title insurance policy protects the lender's financial interest up to the outstanding loan balance. It does NOT protect the buyer/owner — they need a separate owner's title insurance policy.

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.
