Procedure: See Regulation 13 NMAC 14.7.8.1.

Underwriting Requirements:

(1) Obtain a written representation from the proposed insured addressed to Stewart Title Guaranty Company and Agent that advises there is other collateral securing the loan, and identifies the other collateral.

(2) The policy amount must be the value of the covered land or the amount of the loan or loans insured, whichever is the lesser.
