An Endorsement added to an insurance policy covering the policyholder’s mortgaged property to provide that, in the event of the insolvency of the insurance company, the reinsurer shall pay directly to the mortgagee and/or the policyholder the amount of loss which would have been recovered from the reinsurer by the insurance company.
The Endorsement may provide that the reinsurer will pay the full loss amount in accordance with the insurance protection afforded by the insurance company.
The Guarantee Endorsement is also known as the Mortgagee Endorsement, and is similar in concept to the Cut-Through Endorsement.
