Contractual fees - 06/16/21 07:00 PM
I want to make sure I'm understanding the section below correctly. If we (the lender) don't require an Abstract, but the purchase contract states the consumer will pay for an Abstract would we place that in Section K: Due from Borrower at Closing under Adjustments?
Thank you,
Paragraph 38(j)(1)(v).
1. Contractual adjustments. Section 1026.38(j)(1)(v) requires disclosure of amounts not otherwise disclosed under § 1026.38(j) that are owed to the seller but payable to the consumer after the real estate closing. For example, the following items must be disclosed and listed under the heading “Adjustments†under § 1026.38(j), to the extent applicable:
i. The balance in the seller's reserve account held in connection with an existing loan, if assigned to the consumer in a loan assumption transaction;
ii. Any rent that the consumer will collect after the real estate closing for a period of time prior to the real estate closing; and
iii. The treatment of any tenant security deposit.
2. Other consumer charges. The amounts disclosed under § 1026.38(j)(1)(v) which are for charges owed by the consumer at the real estate closing not otherwise disclosed under § 1026.38(f), (g), and (j) will not have a corresponding credit in the summary of the seller's transaction under § 1026.38(k)(1)(iv). For example, the amounts paid to any holders of existing liens on the property in a refinance transaction, construction costs in connection with the transaction that the consumer will be obligated to pay, payoff of other secured or unsecured debt, any outstanding real estate property taxes, and principal reductions are disclosed under § 1026.38(j)(1)(v) without a corresponding credit in the summary of the seller's transaction under § 1026.38(k)(1)(iv). See comment 38-4 for an explanation of how to disclose a principal reduction under § 1026.38(j)(1)(v).
