Providing you with information about upcoming changes to residential real estate closings.

Know Before You Owe

---

Attorneys need to be aware that the HUD-1 is being replaced in most residential loan closings effective August 1, 2015. In 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) amended components of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act (RESPA) that have been in effect for more than 30 years. The amendments were made in an effort to make the forms easier for consumers to understand and to make it easier to compare loan offers from different lending institutions. With the new forms come new methods and timelines for delivery.

Details and samples of the new closing disclosure forms can be found at consumerfinance.gov under the “Know before You Owe” tab.
