Mississippi Receipt

The HUD-1 Settlement Statement is a standard government real estate form that was once used by settlement agents, also called closing agents, to itemize all charges imposed upon a borrower and seller for a real estate transaction. The statement is no longer used, with one exceptionreverse mortgages.

Federal regulations require that unless its use is specifically exempted, either the HUD-1 or the HUD-1A, as appropriate, must be used for all mortgage transactions that are subject to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.

The HUD-1 form is used in purchase transactions, and it includes lines for both borrower charges/fees and seller charges/fees.The HUD-1A is an option, instead of using the HUD-1, for loan transactions that do not include a seller (refinance). The HUD-1 is three pages, while the HUD-1A is only two pages.

A HUD-1 or HUD-1A Settlement Statement is prepared by a creditor or, more typically, by the settlement agent who conducts the closing on the creditor's behalf.

Completing Part B of HUD-1Fill in the property location and the name and address for the borrower, seller and lender. The settlement agent, date and location also are needed. Fill in the appropriate lines in sections J and K, which are summaries of the borrower's and seller's transactions, respectively.

In your case, you should start by contacting the settlement agent for the purchase of the home. Depending on how long they retain their records, they should be able to supply you with a copy of your settlement documents.

In mortgage lending, there are two main types of settlement statements a borrower may encounter: closing disclosures and HUD-1 settlement statements. A mortgage closing disclosure is a type of standard settlement statement that is formulated and regulated for the mortgage lending market.

As of October 3, 2015, the Closing Disclosure form replaced the HUD-1 form for most real estate transactions. However, if you applied for a mortgage on or before October 3, 2015, you received a HUD-1.
