Questions about this bond
Is PACE solicitor enrolment the same as an administrator license?
No. DFPI distinguishes licensed programme administrators from enrolled solicitors and solicitor agents. Have the actual applicant role matched to the bond request.
Does the residential mortgage volume schedule automatically apply?
No. Section22112 ties its higher-bond authority to the stated mortgage-originator and residential-lending circumstances. Match the PACE business's actual activities.
Does a bond guarantee my home improvements or pay my assessment?
No. The statutory security addresses specified regulatory amounts and losses from the licensee's noncompliance; it is not blanket project or assessment insurance.
What if a claim reduces the security?
Section22112 requires replacement security after recovery and allows the commissioner to require a new bond when an action begins. Confirm the accepted replacement and filing deadlines.
