As a homeowner, accessing the equity in your property can be a great way to finance home improvements, consolidate debt, or cover unexpected expenses. A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows you to do just that, but navigating the process can be overwhelming. In this blog post, we’ll break down the contents of a typical HELOC package and explain how mobile notary services can streamline the process.
HELOC Package Overview
A HELOC package is similar in size to a traditional refinance package, often consisting of numerous documents. While some documents are specific to the title company and not relevant to the customer, it’s essential to review all the materials thoroughly. In this post, we’ll focus on the key documents that borrowers should be aware of when going through a HELOC package.
Key Documents in a HELOC Package
- Title Company Audit Checklist: An internal document for the title company’s use only.
- Letter from Lender to Title Company: Instructions for the title company, not requiring borrower signature or review.
- Privacy Policy: Ensures the lender will not disclose non-public customer information.
- Owner’s Affidavit: Verifies ownership, confirms no undisclosed mortgages or judgments, and ensures the property is a single-family residence in good condition. Must be signed and notarized.
- Tax Indemnity: Protects the title company from issues related to unpaid taxes or tax liens. Must be signed.
- Confirmation of Homeowner Association Dues Paid: Confirms no outstanding homeowner association dues.
- Closing Agent Instructions: Provides guidance for the notary public or closing agent regarding lender requirements.
- Scan Back Cover Sheet: Ensures all necessary documents are included when scanning and returning to the lender.
- Witness Requirements: Some states require witnesses for certain documents.
- Deed of Trust: Establishes the lender’s lien on the property. Must be signed and notarized.
- Limited Power of Attorney: Allows the lender to correct typographical errors or clerical mistakes.
- Right to Cancel: Gives the customer three business days to cancel the loan without penalty.
