Program/Document Updates for ALTA 2006 Forms

The American Land Title Association's new 2006 title insurance forms are scheduled to come into use this month. Most of the changes are in the policy jackets, but your title insurance underwriters are making many changes to the schedules and commitments that you generate in Standard Conveyancer.

In order to keep you up to date with news on this topic, we have established a Web log (a blog) for new information. Please click here now and bookmark this page so you can find it easily in the future. We will only update the page when we have new information to report, but we recommend you check it once a week for news.

Status on the New Forms:

In April, concerned that we had not yet received any new forms, Standard Solutions sent a message to all underwriters in all the states we support explaining the urgency and asking for the forms as soon as possible. Many have not sent anything yet, in some cases because they have not yet finalized their forms. Judging by the rate at which these forms are trickling in to us, we know that some of the new packages will be available for Standard Conveyancer well before others. We are committed to getting all the new forms added to the software as quickly as possible as they come in.

We don't anticipate that any underwriter will leave you in a position where you are unable to generate commitments or policies. As in the past, the forms should be available from your underwriters either on disk, through their Web sites, or on paper. In addition, your current schedules and commitments will remain in your system until they are replaced by the new ones. It is up to your underwriter to give you instructions on what to do during this changeover period.

Installation of the Updated Forms / Program Requirements:

Standard Solutions will release a program update in the next week or so that will let you download your new underwriter packages as they become available. In order to download this update, you must be running Standard Conveyancer version 10.20.3 or higher. (Click Help, then About, then About Standard Conveyancer to determine your current version.)

All client offices received our version 10.20 update on CD-ROM by last September at the latest. If your office has not yet installed the update, however, you should contact our office before proceeding. Please do not run your update disk before contacting us first.

Clients still merging documents with WordPerfect 5.1 were previously notified that due to the scope of this project and the eventual discontinuance of WP 5.1 support, the new title insurance documents would only be supported in Microsoft Word. If this applies to you, please contact us as soon as possible to schedule your MS Word upgrade.
