Lender-Placed Insurance and Compliance

Lender-placed Insurance (LPI)

While our processes thoroughly validate if required property insurance exists on a loan, sometimes the homeowner doesn’t obtain the necessary insurance to protect their dwelling. In those cases, LPI comes into play – first through notifications to the homeowner and then through placement of a policy if evidence of traditional insurance cannot be verified. LPI helps protect the value of a servicer’s assets and meets investor and/or federal regulatory requirements related to continuous insurance. LPI also helps protect customers’ homes and provides peace of mind should the unfortunate occur.

We offer a wide range of insurance solutions to meet your portfolio needs and reduce risk to the assets servicers oversee:

• LPI fire, flood, flood gap and wind insurance
  • 50-state admitted hazard insurance product using National General carriers for maximum compliance
• REO hazard, liability and flood insurance to protect servicers’ real-estate owned properties
• Automatic coverage
• Continuous coverage
• Flexible deductible options and coverage amounts where permitted
• Blanket insurance policies to protect you with hazard coverage on condominiums, junior mortgages/HELOCs and others
• Catastrophe management tools
• Insurance coverage for servicers who track mortgage loans in-house
