ALTA 9
SERIES 9
ALTA 9-06 to 9.10-06
[ALTA 9.4-06 AND 9.5-06 WITHDRAWN EFFECTIVE 4/2/2012]
It is common for institutional lenders to require certain additional title insurance coverages for
loans secured by first mortgages on improved real property when these mortgages are to be sold
on the secondary market. The original ALTA Form 9 was designed to provide those coverages in a
single, inclusive form. It afforded the lender various protections with respect to private property
restrictions, building setback lines, encroachments and excepted minerals. Forms for use with
owner’s policies were subsequently adopted also.
In 2012 and 2013 ALTA completely revised all of the endorsements in the series, withdrawing the
9.4-06 and 9.5-06 and adding 5 new forms- the 9.6-06, 9.7-06, 9.8-06, 9.9-06 and 9.10-06.
