The Remote Signing Endorsement also reassures the lender that Stewart will not deny liability under the policy, or any endorsements issued with the policy, on the grounds that the Insured Mortgage was signed by the borrowers via remote signing.
Let lenders know they are protected whether you obtain signatures in person or remotely.
To further assist you, we have also prepared a
letter you can send to your lender clients providing assurances that Stewart Title’s coverage will not be compromised or invalidated in the event a real estate transaction is completed remotely.
Please note that lawyers and notaries must continue to ensure that they comply with their land registry and law society/notary society requirements to ensure the mortgage is in a registerable form.
