Endorsements which change the Date of Policy or Increase the Amount of the Loan Policy are done through issuance of a General Endorsement Form which amends the policy to set forth all new matters affecting title since the original or last updated Date of Policy. The premium for these endorsements is determined as follows:
Modification Endorsement (General)
The premium for an endorsement to a loan policy insuring a modification of the mortgage is based upon the substitution loan rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance of the loan. This applies to ALL modifications other than the following “Exempted Modifications”:
- extension of the time for repayment; (2) decrease in the interest rate, provided that, if the rate is variable, the “cap” is not greater than the original “cap” and/or the “cap” is not greater than the original fixed rate; (3) increase in the interest rate, provided the endorsement contains an exception for the loss of priority occasioned by the increase; (4) extension of the term; (5) release of a portion of the secured property; and/or
- modification which provides for a correction to either perfect the lien of the insured mortgage or comply with the terms of lender’s original commitment; (7) future advances made pursuant to 04, F.F. subject to a separate Future Advance Endorsement premium; and/or (8) adding of additional parcels to a mortgage securing a revolving line of credit subject to a separate Spreader Endorsement premium.
Note: As to any mortgage modification which merely constitutes one or more of the Exempted Modifications no premium is due; and, if the insured does not require a change in the Date of Policy, ALTA 11-06 Mortgage Modification Endorsement may be used in lieu of a General Endorsement Form (refer to the underwriting procedures applicable to said ALTA 11-06 Mortgage Modification Endorsement).
