Schedule B
The section of a title commitment listing what the policy will not cover.
Schedule B-I lists the requirements you must satisfy before the policy issues. Schedule B-II lists exceptions: the easements, restrictions, liens, and encroachments the insurer refuses to insure against.
Most easement surprises are buried in Schedule B-II, often written as a reference to a recorded document rather than as a plain description of what it does.
Why it matters when you buy
Schedule B is where the actual limits on your property live, and it is the section most buyers never read.
