ACORD 27 Instructions

Section Name Field Name Field and/or Section Description
TITLE ACORD 27 (2006/07) Evidence of Property Insurance ACORD 27, Evidence of Property Insurance, provides a coverage statement for mortgagees and loss payees who provide mortgages or loans on residential property, personal property or small commercial properties, and are named in the policy. ACORD 27, Evidence of Property Insurance, provides information about coverages currently in force on a policy.
TITLE Evidence of Property Insurance Research reveals that information included on the form satisfies requirements of mortgagees in most situations. Discussions with various lenders indicate that inclusion of items such as coinsurance are not important with respect to Personal Lines policies or small commercial policies. The primary concern is that the amount of insurance is sufficient to cover the amount of the loan. Sufficient space is provided in the Coverage and Remarks sections of the form to include any additional information that may be required. Although many lenders pay the premium for certain types of policies such as Homeowners, inclusion of the premium amount is inappropriate on the EPI. This information will be communicated to the payor via an invoice. Furthermore, in the case of continuing coverage, the premium amount would be invalid after the first year.
TITLE Evidence of Property Insurance IMPORTANT Use ACORD 28, Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance, to provide information to mortgagees and loss payees who provide mortgages or loans on real property or personal property insured under a Commercial Lines policy and more detail is required by the mortgagee or loss payee.
