Stand Alone Modification Endorsement/Stand Alone Endorsement (SAE)
- The SAE is an alternative product created to meet the needs of servicing customers, which ensures the continued priority of existing loans whose terms are now being modified. The Lender no longer needs to obtain subordination from the Jr. Lien holder.
- Authority to issue the endorsement even if the loan policy insuring the original mortgage/deed of trust was issued by another underwriter. In that regard, unlike other policy endorsements, this particular endorsement is considered to "stand alone".
- The endorsement insures the Insured against loss sustained or incurred by reason of (1) any invalidity or unenforceability of the mortgage resulting from the execution of the modification; (2) any defect or encumbrance first appearing in the public records between the underlying loan policy date and the recording date of the modification; and (3) any loss of priority resulting from the recording of any junior mortgage, deed of trust or other voluntary lien in the public records between the underlying loan policy date and the recording date of the modification.
