Chicago Title Endorsement Handbook - Chicago, IL

Non-ALTA 2006 • 315 LOCATION 6 ENDORSEMENT (CONTIGUITY TO STREET) Location Endorsement — Form 6, commonly referred to as the “access” endorsement, is available for owner’s and loan policies. This endorsement provides insurance in the event that the Land described in Schedule A is not contiguous to the street which is named in the endorsement. Every title policy insures that there is a right of access to and from the Land (unless there is a specific exception as to access raised on Schedule B). This endorsement specifies the street or streets by which access exists and that such is open and used and not merely “legal” access. This endorsement usually is available only upon our receipt and examination of a current and reliable survey. Such survey should disclose that the street and the Land are in fact contiguous and that the street is open and in use. Many locations require that the survey be drawn to ALTA standards and be certified to Chicago Title Insurance Company. Location 6 Endorsement (Contiguity to Street)
