If a lender is the insured in a title policy and has an actual loss of
$325,000 due to a forged deed, because of the concept of indemnity, the
title insurer: - answer The lender will be paid the amount of actual loss.
Lenders have an insurable interest in the title of real property for which
they fund a loan. Insurable interest is closely tied to the principle of
indemnity. Most insurance contracts are indemnity contracts. This means
that the insured can only be compensated for the amount of the loss; he
cannot make a profit due to an insured loss. In most contracts, insurance
payment cannot exceed the amount of insurable interest in the property
or risk being insured.
The correct answer is: will pay the lender the amount of the actual loss,
and no more, up to the limits of the insurance policy

Title insurers offer policies for titles involving mortgages called ______. -
answer Lender policies insure a mortgage company's or other real estate
lender's interests in title. They provide broader coverage than an owner's
policy. Under a lender policy, liability of the insurer decreases over time
because the loan amount decreases. Lender's policies are written for the
loan amount, and once the mortgage is paid off the policy coverage
ceases. The lender's interest in the property has ended and without an
interest in the property, there is no need for lender's coverage.
The correct answer is: Loan or lender policies

covered risk only if a notice of the exercise of these rights, describing any
