FAQ
In Illinois, the seller's attorney typically selects the title company that will handle the escrow and closing process.
The title company verifies that the home seller has the legal right to sell the property to a buyer. A title company can issue a policy, called title insurance, that protects homeowners and mortgage lenders from conflicts (like title claims) that may arise from the property's previous owners.

The Illinois Mortgage Escrow Act controls lenders' conduct with respect to escrow accounts and the information the lenders provide to their mortgage customers about such accounts. The Act requires that the lender inform the borrower of his rights under the Act in writing at the time of closing.
In a UTMA account, an adult, often a parent or guardian, acts as the custodian. The custodian has full control over the account and can make investment decisions on behalf of the minor. The custodian manages the account for the benefit of the minor and can withdraw funds as needed for the child's benefit.
Depending on the state, a UTMA account is handed over to a child when they reach either age 18 or age 21. In some jurisdictions, at age 18 a UTMA account can only be handed over with the custodian's permission, and at 21 is transferred automatically.

UTMA allows the property to be gifted to a minor without establishing a formal trust. The donor or a custodian manages the property for the minor's benefit until the minor reaches a certain age. Once the child reaches a specified age set by the state, the child will have full control over the property.
