I also see so many title endorsements ordered on the policy.

They are even endorsed by Ron Legrand (look in multimedia section).

At least this way, an escrow overage would come to you & the 1098’s at the end of the year come straight to you, but they still have to endorse that check 😐I have had the seller file the interest on their taxes & keep an overage check.

Right now (and again I have to double-check), I foresee it as a policy endorsement adding an "additional insured", at no extra cost.

It's not something offered by or endorsed by a professional association like National Association of Realtors.

I use to keep cashier checks made out to cash, and then endorse them when I won the bid.The trustee will issue a "Trustee Deed"  to you when you win the bid.

Do you use the BP endorsement or do you have another recommendation?

Last month, there were 8 FHA 203k Loans that were endorsed and 82 last fiscal year.

The check for the title company to her is not something you should worry about.When this kind of trust account is opened at a bank they normally tell you what the endorsement needs to say on checks.Some banks require a double endorsement but most just do it.For example if your was John Smith and the checks were simply in your name.Some banks require...John SmithJohn Smith TTEE ABC123 Trust dated 1,1,2016Other banks would simply let you put John Smith TTEEABC123 Trust dated 1,1,2016The real concern would be how would she show the title company she has control of the trust and can therefore transfer title.

While I'm not endorsing any of them, I found Ron Legrand's program to be informative, and novice friendly.
