Issue of fact presented whether terminated title agent was cloaked with apparent authority to act on behalf of the title underwriter in issuing a forged title policy.

Denial of motion to renew judgment quieting title in favor of the insured lender affirmed by the Appellate Division. Claim that the recorded satisfaction of a prior mortgage was to be held in escrow was barred by the parole evidence rule. Borrower failed to provide evidence unknown at the time of entry of judgment would have altered the result.

Borrower who accepted the benefits of a mortgage loan and who conceded he signed a mortgage to secure said loan was equitably estopped to deny the recorded mortgage on which he claimed his signature was forged.
