Rules on Owner's Title Insurance
Answered by:
Question:
We had a borrower who owned his land free and clear and purchased owner's title insurance years ago when he bought the land. He came to us for a construction/perm loan and specifically said that he did not want owner's title insurance for the new transaction. We did not put on the GFE. Is this acceptable since the borrower specifically stated that he did not want owner's title insurance and the file was documented as such?
