If I correctly understand VA circular 26-10-01, the veteran may not be charged for the "attorney's fees associated with settlement", which are not to be confused with charges for title exam.
Since attorneys do charge for performing settlement services, how are other lending institutions handling this? Are lenders covering attorney fee out of pocket as a cost of doing VA loans? Premium pricing to provide lender credit (which seems to be indirectly charging anyway)? Accept lump billing only?
Thanks for any feedback.
