Fill Title Settlement For Free

The closing statement, also called a closing disclosure or settlement statement, is essentially a comprehensive list of every expense that either the buyer and seller must pay to complete the purchase of a home (or whatever the property is).

Who prepares the settlement statement? Whoever is facilitating the closing ? whether it be a title company, escrow firm, or real estate attorney ? will be responsible for preparing the settlement statement.

The closing agent, usually a title company representative, presents all documents to the parties, obtains signatures, and delivers evidence that the title is ensured. Contracts signed include the sales agreement, mortgage loan commitment, and title insurance contract.

The closing agent (The closing agent is responsible for ordering and reviewing the closing paperwork. Depending on local custom, this may be a broker, title representative/escrow officer, or attorney.)

While closing disclosures provide information about a borrower's loan, settlement statements do not include loan information. Settlement statements are used for commercial transactions and cash closings.

The title insurance representative is responsible for the title search and for providing the buyer with proof of title. Most title representatives will also help prepare the parties, but that responsibility rests with the agents representing them.

Both settlement statements, including HUD-1 settlement statements, and closing disclosures are a statements prepared by the closing attorney or title company giving a complete breakdown of costs involved in a real estate transaction.
