Authorized Signatory
Form T-23.1
_______________________________________________________
Justification:
Owners and Lenders are rightfully concerned whether buildings have access to utilities as without utilities the buildings have a greatly diminished value. This endorsement provides coverage if such buildings do not have actual access to the utility services listed and checked in the endorsement. It is new title insurance coverage because under current forms and rules title companies simply take exception to easements rather than provide title insurance coverage for the affirmative existence of particular utility service. The endorsement does not insure that there is an actual service line, only that an easement for such service exists or is not prohibited.
