Lender’s Policy
The lender’s policy is also known as a “loan policy” and is required for all transactions, purchases and refinances alike, since lenders must also protect against title related defects.
A lender wants to ensure that the loan they are issuing is protected by title insurance and their investment is covered. A lender’s policy protects the mortgage holder (the institution that owns the mortgage).
If there is a fault in title that results in a loss, the mortgage holder will be paid back. You will need to order a new lender’s policy to refinance your property.
