Five Things To Know Before Closing
The Loan Estimate: Today, borrowers receive two separate forms from their lender at the beginning of the transaction. This includes the Good Faith Estimate (GFE). Also, the initial disclosure required under the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA). What about loan applications taken on or after October 1, 2015? The creditor will now use a combined Loan Estimate. This is now intended to replace the two previous forms. You must provide the new three-page Loan Estimate form to borrowers on a timetable similar to the current receipt of the GFE.
The Closing Disclosure: The combination of forms continues at the end of the transaction as well. This is with the HUD-1 Settlement Statement. Also, the final TILA forms now combined into a single Closing Disclosure form. This new five-page form is not only to disclose many terms and provisions of the loan. Also, the financial transaction of the closing of the sale.
Closings are now impacted by delivery rules of the new forms:
There is a part of the final rule creating these two new combined forms. The CFPB determined that borrowers would be better served by having a short time to review the new Closing Disclosure form. This is prior to signing their loan documents. As a result, in its rule, CFPB mandated borrowers have three days after receipt of the Closing Disclosure to review the form and its contents.
Note: The three-day review period starts upon the “receipt” of the form by the borrower. Unless some positive confirmation of the receipt of the form (i.e., hand delivery), the form is “deemed received” three days after the delivery process starts (i.e., mailing). As a result, the combination of the “delivery time period” and the “review time period” results in seven business days (excluding Sundays) from mailing to loan signing.
