FL Foreign Currency Endorsement Guideline 1

Guideline Document

V 1

Explanation:

The endorsement insures against loss due to the insured mortgage being deemed invalid or losing its priority because it contains provisions regarding a currency conversion rate between U.S. dollars and a stated foreign currency. It further provides that increases in the dollar amount of the indebtedness resulting from changes in currency valuations will not be considered to be created subsequent to the date of the policy. However, total liability under the policy may never exceed the face amount of the policy and the costs the Company is obligated to pay consistent with the terms and conditions of the policy.

Underwriting Requirements:

The changes in the conversion rate must be calculated based upon a formula included in the insured mortgage. Further, like all other policies, the policy must contain the amount of coverage provided.

Any revision to this form requires approval of a Stewart Title Guaranty Company underwriter. The underwriting guidelines contained herein have been provided for general reference.
