brokers, for a fee (using the information supplied in whole or in part by the bonower) fill out and

customary forms are: the Unifonn Residential Loan Application tForm 1003); the Request for
Verification of Employment (F0rm 1005); the Request for Verification of Deposit tForm 1006);
and other documents. The mortgage lenders rely on the accuracy of the information supplied in
the applications and fonns in the approval process of the loan.
l4. Once the loan is approved by the mortgage lcnder, a closing on the property is
scheduled. Generally, upon approval and prior to the closing of the loan, the lender will fund the
loan by sending the funds by wire transfer to the bank account of the closing agency responsible
for the closing. The closing agency is then responsible for disbursing these funds to the
appropriate parties. At the closing, the closing agency, acting for and on behalf of the m ortgage
lender, is required by the mortgage lender to prepare a Settlement Statement (hereinafter SSHUD-I
Settlement Statemenf') showing the receipt and disbursement of all funds, that is, the funds paid

legal documents at the closing, including the warranty deed, note, mortgage, occupancy aftidavits,
final Uniform Residential Loan Application tForm l 003), HUD-I Settlement Statement, and
lender disclosure documents. The closing agency will then issue a final title insurance policy to
the bonower and lender showing the new owner, legal description, mortgage amount and
exceptions to the policy.
l 5. The closing agency has a fiduciary responsibility to the mortgage lender to hold the
borrowed loan funds in a trust/escrow bank account. The closing agency, under their fiduciary
role, is required to collect a11 necessary funds, to disburse all funds to the appropriate parties and
to account for all monies disbursed at closing. The closing agency responsible for the closing is
obligated to adhere to the mortgage lender's closing instructions, and must obtain and send back
to the mortgage lender, signed and executed documents that the lender requests, including the final
