Explanation:

This endorsement provides insurance to a lender against loss in the event that a specific easement holder shall (1) cause damage to a building located on the land at date of policy, or (2) compel the removal or alteration of an existing building located on the land at date of policy. This endorsement is usually requested by a lender when an encroachment over an easement is discovered. New Mexico does not currently have the 2/3/2010 version of the ALTA 28-06 endorsement.

Underwriting Requirements:

This endorsement requires at least one of the following:

1, Examination of the survey to ensure that existing buildings are not impacted by the easement;

2. Approval or consent of the easement holder in order to be able to offset damage from the exercise of the easement rights; or

3. An abandonment of said easement.
