A lender's title insurance policy (loan policy) in NC protects:

BThe lender up to the outstanding loan balanceCorrect
CBoth buyer and lender for the full purchase price
DThe title company against errors

Why The lender up to the outstanding loan balance Is Correct

Answer B: The lender up to the outstanding loan balance

A lender's (mortgagee's) title insurance policy protects the lender up to the outstanding loan amount against losses from title defects. It does not protect the buyer's equity.

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.
