Disclosures and other forms
Disclosure forms are used to inform the prospective borrower in writing of the terms and
conditions of the loan that is being offered and the costs that are associated with the loan.
This information gives the borrower the opportunity to make an informed decision prior to
signing the loan agreement.
Forms are used to package conventional and FHA/VA loan information for submittal to
underwriting.
Under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), initial disclosures are to be
submitted to the prospect by the lender within three days of their request for a loan.
All forms and disclosures are accessible from the
Forms
menu and the shortcut toolbar.
