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.
