I am NOT endorsing Allstate, I just think they did a great job on that marketing piece. =)

I am reviewing our rental building insurance renewal and found an endorsement called Ordinance or Law Coverage.

Further, @Melvin List is correct in that if a survey was drawn when you acquired the property, a survey affidavit (rather than a new survey or an update) should suffice.If the property is not a platted residential lot, you have no recent survey, and your lender requires certain endorsements... yes, you will need a survey.

I am trying to be very on top of my transactions for tax time, and wondered if lumping all "closing costs" for each transaction is sufficient for tax purposes, or if I need to separate each transaction (appraisal fee, credit report fee, third party processing, lawyer fees, survey fee, title search, title endorsements, Lender's title insurance, settlement fee, tax certificate, recording fees, transfer taxes...... etc, etc, etc...

On one of my closing statements the title company wanted to charge $2000 in settlement/closing fee, $500 for lender's title policy, and $180 per endorsement.

Depending on when it was sold, you can either endorse it on the back or execute an assignment via any form you find on the Internet. 

It gives me writers cramp . ( funny how endorsing checks doesnt ) .

I therefore do not endorse or recommend against investing in the Inland Empire. 

The seller needs to endorse it in writing(eMail)…..

Either way, it's a simple endorsement to change the name of the insured.
