Does this area represent any specific time In the event you submit an insurance claim for damage suffered as a result of a disaster, Lender, or their successors and/or assigns, reserves the right to withhold its signature on any insurance claim check and/or pursue civil remedies, due to your possible misrepresentation on this document.
Hi Tom,
It appears you're asking if the clause regarding insurance claims and misrepresentation specifies a time period. The clause does not explicitly mention a specific time frame. It generally states that the lender reserves certain rights "in the event you submit an insurance claim."

If this is specific to recent disasters and ensuring that the borrower has disclosed any damages specific to a recent disaster, shouldn't there be more specific language referencing this?
Yes, Tom, for clarity and specificity, the language can be refined to mention recent disasters explicitly. Here's a suggested revision:
"In the event you submit an insurance claim for damage incurred as a result of a disaster declared within the past 12 months, Lender, or its successors and/or assigns, reserves the right to withhold its signature on any insurance claim check and/or pursue civil remedies due to your possible misrepresentation on this document."
Would you like further revisions on any other part of the document?
