  • Seller's Lien Protects the lender with respect to filed UCC Financing Statements created by any prior owner (of the Collateral) which may encumber the collateral.

  • Lender's Aggregation Combines coverage under the EAGLE 9® UCC Lenders Insurance Policy with coverage under a First American land title insurance policy.
  • Post Policy Tax Lien Applicable when Insured changes its name or assigns the Indebtedness and underlying security interest which is subject to the UCC Insurance.
  • Waiver of Attorney Subrogation First American waives any rights it may have against either lender or borrower's counsel as a result of paying a claim and thereby being subrogated to the rights of the insured against counsel.
  • Borrower's Status Clarifies for the Insured the explicit and implicit coverages of the EAGLE 9® UCC Lender's Insurance Policy, including the authorization, execution, and delivery of the security interest granting document, by setting forth the due diligence steps taken by First American in reaching the conclusions set forth in the insuring clauses of the policy, such as the conclusion that the Insured's security interest is in first priority.

As with any insurance contract, there are exceptions, exclusions, and conditions to coverage contained in the policy. Some coverages may not be available in your area, or for your transaction, due to legal, regulatory, or underwriting considerations. Depending on the states involved, First American's EAGLE 9® UCC Insurance Policies are issued through either First American Title Insurance Company or First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company, members of The First American Family of Companies.
