When underwriting commercial title insurance, there are many easements to consider. In this article, we are going to offer a brief explanation of the commercial participation interest endorsement.
Commercial Participation Interest Endorsement
ALTA Endorsement 30.1-06 is designed for loan policies for commercial transactions in situations where the loan agreement includes a participation interest. The participation interest is based on the equity in the Title, increase in value of the Title or cash flow as defined in the loan documents. The endorsement protects the lender against loss or damage by reason of (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien of the Insured Mortgage resulting from the provisions of the Insured Mortgage or Loan Documents containing a participation interest; (b) lack of priority of the lien of the Insured Mortgage at Date of Policy, securing (i) the unpaid principal balance of the loan and (ii) the interest on the loan, including the participation interest, if any, which lack of priority is caused by the provisions in the Loan Documents for payment or allocation to the Insured of any participation interest.
This endorsement is available in a lender’s title policy but not available in an owner’s title policy.
