Bulletin: NY000361
Stewart hopes that you have found the most recent version of the Stewart Title Rate Calculator now and for the past year most helpful. It can be found at the STIC website by clicking here.
We have issued Bulletins 303 and 287 in connection with the use of Stewart's Rate Calculator. In those Bulletins we strongly urged you to use the Rate Calculator, print a copy of the calculated rate and attach it to the file. Today we reiterate that request so as to ease prospective regulatory rate reviews and audits. We have asked our Auditors to check for the printed rate calculation and for its accuracy as part of the audit process. As always, to the extent that a user has a question, comment or concern as to the accuracy of results or how to use the Rate Calculator, please direct those questions and comments to Legal Services personnel at 212.922.0050.
