Why the lender appearsA financial interest in the property.
Your home serves as security for your mortgage loan. Because damage affects that security, the lender may be listed alongside you on an insurance check for repairs to the home. The policy and loan terms determine the lender's rights and how the funds are released.
DocumentsSupport for the release process.
We provide claim estimates and supporting documentation that your mortgage servicer requests. Ask the servicer for its applicable requirements in writing.
Release of fundsRequirements vary.
Mortgage terms and applicable rules may allow funds to be held and released in stages, with repair documentation or inspections. Some circumstances can permit proceeds to be applied to mortgage debt.
Your situationReview the actual requirements.
The loan terms, policy, repair plans, and claim circumstances matter. We help you understand the claim documents and questions to raise with your servicer.
Insurance proceeds address your covered property loss.
Lenders can have contractual rights in those proceeds. UCAG offers claim-related guidance and documentation without promising a particular release schedule or outcome.
