Category Breakdown Category Number of Questions Real Estate Transactions 5 Real Property 1 Insurance Regulation 1 Title Insurance 2 Title Exceptions and Procedures for Clearing Title 1 TOTAL 10 Question #:1 - [Real Estate Transactions] Who of the following CANNOT be covered by a Closing Protection Letter? Lender. Purchaser/buyer. Seller. Escrow agent. Answer: D Explanation A closing protection letter protects a covered party against certain losses caused by the title insurer’s issuing agent or approved attorney in connection with the closing. The escrow or closing agent is the party whose misconduct or failure to follow written closing instructions may trigger the CPL protection; that agent is not the protected party under the letter. The Pennsylvania TIRBOP/ALTA CPL form identifies the protection as indemnity for the addressee’s actual loss of funds and ties eligibility to the lender or purchaser/lessee role in the transaction. Therefore, the escrow agent cannot be covered by the CPL. This fits the exam outline’s Real Estate Transactions topic, specifically insured closing protection. Question #:2 - [Real Property] A deed to a lot in Greenacre is recorded. Two parties who are NOT married to each other are named as grantees. The deed does NOT mention any form of tenancy. How do the grantees hold title to the lot? as tenants in common as tenants at sufferance Insurance Licensing - PA-Title-Insurance-Agent Pass Guaranteed 2 of 6 Only Solution2Pass for Any Exam C. D. A. B. C. D. as tenants by the entireties as joint tenants Answer: A Explanation When two unmarried grantees receive title and the deed does not state a survivorship form or another specific tenancy, the default ownership form is tenancy in common. Each co-owner holds an undivided interest that can be conveyed, devised, or inherited separately. Tenancy by the entireties is only available to married spouses, so it cannot apply here. Joint tenancy requires survivorship language or a clear expression of that intent; it is not presumed merely because two people are named as grantees. Tenancy at sufferance is not an ownership estate; it describes a holdover occupancy situation. The Pennsylvania Title Insurance outline specifically tests joint ownership types, including tenants in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by the entirety. Question #:3 - [Insurance Regulation] A licensee has violated a Pennsylvania insurance law. The commissioner CANNOT impose what penalty after the hearing? license revocation a jail sentence license suspension a fine Answer: B Explanation The commissioner may impose administrative penalties after a hearing, including denial, suspension, refusal to renew, revocation of a license, civil penalties, and cease-and-desist orders. A jail sentence is criminal punishment and must come through the court system, not through the Insurance Commissioner’s administrative authority. This is why license revocation, license suspension, and fines are all possible regulatory penalties, while a jail sentence is not. The Pennsylvania Title Insurance exam outline specifically lists disciplinary actions, revocation, suspension, nonrenewal, denial, and fines under Insurance Regulation, confirming that the question is testing the limits of administrative enforcement power. Question #:4 - [Real Estate Transactions] What requirements define which closing costs are allowable as charges to the borrower? Insurance Licensing - PA-Title-Insurance-Agent Pass Guaranteed 3 of 6 Only Solution2Pass for Any Exam A. B. C. D. A. B. C. D. FHA State ALTA RESPA Answer: A Explanation FHA requirements define which closing costs and fees may be collected from the borrower in an FHA-insured loan transaction. RESPA governs settlement-service disclosures, escrow rules, and anti-kickback restrictions, but it is not the best answer to a question asking which requirements define allowable charges to the borrower in this loan-closing context. ALTA provides title insurance forms and standards, not borrower-charge rules. “State” is too broad and does not match the specific loan-program requirement being tested. HUD/FHA guidance identifies customary and reasonable fees that may be collected from the borrower, and the Pennsylvania Title Insurance outline separately lists FHA requirements under settlement and closing procedures. Question #:5 - [Real Estate Transactions] The sale of a property was subject to the buyer's being able to assume an existing loan on the property. Upon examination, the note was found to contain a clause that prohibited the assumption of the loan. The clause was a due-on-sale clause. an assumption clause. a prepayment clause. a subordination clause. Answer: A Explanation A due-on-sale clause allows the lender to call the loan due when the property is sold or transferred, preventing the buyer from simply assuming the seller’s existing loan without lender approval. That directly matches the question’s wording: the buyer wanted to assume the existing loan, but the note contained a clause prohibiting that assumption. An assumption clause would allow or describe assumption, not prohibit it. A prepayment clause concerns paying the loan before maturity. A subordination clause changes lien priority between Insurance Licensing - PA-Title-Insurance-Agent Pass Guaranteed 4 of 6 Only Solution2Pass for Any Exam A. B. C. D. A. B. C. D. interests; it has nothing to do with whether a buyer may assume the loan. This belongs under Real Estate Transactions because the Pennsylvania title exam tests notes, mortgages, loan closings, recording, and settlement procedures. Question #:6 - [Real Estate Transactions] A notarized deed ensures that the deed is legally binding. deed can be recorded. title is transferred. title is clear. Answer: B Explanation A notarized deed ensures that the deed is eligible for recording because the notarial acknowledgment verifies the execution formalities needed by the recorder’s office. Notarization alone does not make title clear, does not guarantee marketable title, and does not by itself transfer ownership unless the deed has also been properly delivered and accepted. A deed may be legally effective between parties in some circumstances, but the examination issue tested here is recordability. Pennsylvania recording practice requires proper execution and acknowledgment for deeds and other instruments affecting real property. The Pennsylvania title outline specifically lists document preparation, deeds, acknowledgment forms, recording, requirements to record, and acknowledgments under Real Estate Transactions. Question #:7 - [Real Estate Transactions] The Real Estate Settlement Procedure Act (RESPA), Section 8 violation that refers to a person giving or accepting a fee or "thing of value" for the referral of business is known as a kickback. required use. conversion. bundled services. Answer: A Insurance Licensing - PA-Title-Insurance-Agent Pass Guaranteed 5 of 6 Only Solution2Pass for Any Exam A. B. C. D. A. B. C. Explanation The correct RESPA Section 8 term is kickback. RESPA prohibits giving or accepting any fee, kickback, or thing of value under an agreement or understanding that settlement-service business will be referred. “Required use” is a separate RESPA concept involving conditioning access to a service or property on use of a particular settlement-service provider. Conversion is wrongful control over another’s property or funds, not the RESPA referral-fee violation. Bundled services describes grouped services but is not the statutory violation described here. In title and settlement practice, referral payments are heavily regulated because they can distort consumer choice and settlement costs. The Pennsylvania title outline includes RESPA under settlement and closing procedures. Question #:8 - [Title Insurance] The effective date on a title commitment is the date the order was completed. of the last recording on record. the commitment is issued. the public records were verified to. Answer: D Explanation The effective date of a title commitment is tied to the date through which the public records have been searched or verified. It is not simply the date the order was completed or the date the commitment was physically issued. It also is not necessarily the date of the last document recorded, because the title company’s search may run through a particular certification or verification point. This date matters because the commitment reflects title conditions as of that searched-through date; later liens, deeds, judgments, or other matters may require an update before closing. The Pennsylvania exam outline tests commitments, title searching techniques, public records, recording systems, and title policy structure. Question #:9 - [Title Exceptions and Procedures for Clearing Title] What must accompany the satisfaction piece when presented for recording? The payment record The certificate of title Insurance Licensing - PA-Title-Insurance-Agent Pass Guaranteed 6 of 6 Only Solution2Pass for Any Exam C. D. A. B. C. D. The final receipt The original mortgage instrument Answer: D Explanation For this practice-question wording, the exam-matched answer is the original mortgage instrument because a satisfaction piece is the document used to clear a paid mortgage lien from the record. The satisfaction piece operates as the release of the mortgage, so the mortgage recording information must be tied accurately to the lien being discharged. The other choices are not the traditional recording companion documents: a payment record, certificate of title, or final receipt does not itself connect the satisfaction to the recorded mortgage instrument. Important correction: current Pennsylvania Mortgage Satisfaction Act language says a satisfaction piece generally need not be accompanied by the original mortgage, though a recorder may require validation information such as the original mortgage, first-page image, or validation fee. Question #:10 - [Title Insurance] Which of the following is excluded from coverage in the standard owner's policy? any law, ordinance, or governmental regulation without filed notice any claim for loss or damage based on negligence arising from the status of lien with the insured mortgage recorded documentation on the title to real property without acknowledgment lack of a right of access to and from the land Answer: A Explanation Governmental laws, ordinances, permits, and regulations are standard exclusions from owner’s title insurance coverage unless the policy specifically covers a recorded enforcement notice or related insured risk. This includes zoning, building, subdivision, occupancy, environmental, and similar governmental restrictions. Lack of a right of access to and from the land is not the exclusion here; it is normally a covered risk in an owner’s policy. Option B is aimed at loan-policy concepts and does not fit an owner’s standard exclusion. Option C may create a title or recording defect, but it is not the policy exclusion being tested. The Pennsylvania title outline tests title policy exclusions, covered risks, Schedule B exceptions, and owner’s policy provisions. About solution2pass.com solution2pass.com was founded in 2007.
