Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Illinois Real Estate Broker Exam involving title insurance and Illinois broker licensing structure. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 200)
Answer choices
- A. Client funds may be mixed with business funds if the broker reconciles the account later.
- B. The issue can be ignored if the parties want to close quickly.
- C. The rule applies only to commercial transactions and never to residential transactions.
- D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize protection against covered title defects in a way that fits Illinois exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because title insurance requires candidates to recognize protection against covered title defects. The Illinois reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
