Well there are two angles that must be explored.
1. You really need to get with your legal counsel to determine the best way to do the types of modifications you have in mind. What documents are recommended by legal to ensure that you remain with a legally binding obligation and that you do not jeopardize your lien position. Much of this will be based on State law, local customs, case law, etc. There will not be a SOP that someone can share that will be a one size fits all.
2. Once you have accomplished that task, then you will have to weigh your actions against the definition of a refinance in 1026.20. If what you have to do to amend these specific loans qualifies as a refinance, then all of Regulation Z, including TRID, will apply to the new transaction.
