Closing Disclosure
A five-page document your lender must provide at least three business days before closing that details your final loan terms, monthly payment, and all closing costs. It replaces the earlier Loan Estimate so you can compare the two and flag any unexpected changes. Review it carefully, as this is your last chance to catch errors before signing.
Why It Matters
Closing Disclosure has real legal implications for your rights and obligations as a homeowner or borrower. Overlooking the legal details of a real estate transaction can lead to costly problems down the road.
If you have questions about closing disclosure, consider consulting a real estate attorney, especially if you are in a state that requires attorney involvement in real estate closings. A small investment in legal advice can prevent major headaches later.
