Title underwriters will see a reduction in claims arising from unreleased deeds of trusts and mortgages, a reduction in defalcation, and some measurable reduction in mortgage fraud.

Borrowers (usually in a refinance) benefit by knowing the former lien will be properly released, or in the case of open lines of credit, that the credit line will be properly closed, and the related mortgage lien is released. Home buyers can be assured that all mortgage liens paid off at the closing of the property they are purchasing will be released 100% of the time.
