| |
| − | There do not appear to be any special regulatory requirements for disclaimers or other matters for Missouri Title Commitments. Similar to many western states, Missouri state law expressly states that a Commitment (defined to include Commitments, Preliminary Reports, and Binders) is not an abstract of title:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :"A title insurance commitment is not an abstract of title." Mo. Ann. Stat. § 381.015.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is common practice to include a disclaimer nonetheless.
