What Is the Lender Attorney’s Responsibility at Closing?

Your lender attorney can help you in a variety of ways during the closing process. Specifically, they can help:

Review the contracts: Attorneys can review all relevant contracts, including the loan agreement, promissory note, security agreement, and mortgage or deed of trust carefully. They can check documents for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Examine the title and property documents: Attorneys can work to ensure there are no encumbrances or defects that could jeopardize your client's security interest in the property.
Prepare closing documents: Your attorney can prepare the necessary paperwork, which may include escrow instructions, loan agreements, promissory note, security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, guaranty agreements, subordination agreements, and legal opinion letters.

Coordinate with other partiers: Lender attorneys work closely with the borrower's attorney, escrow agent, and other relevant parties to schedule and coordinate the closing, and they can confirm that all conditions precedent to closing, as outlined in the loan agreement, have been satisfied.
Conduct the closing: Lender attorneys can conduct the closing and ensure that all required documents are executed, notarized, and delivered as well as collect and disburse funds according to the escrow instructions.
Handle post-closing matters: After closing, your attorneys can ensure that all post-closing requirements are met, such as filing UCC financing statements, obtaining recorded documents from the county recorder's office, and delivering final copies of executed documents to the appropriate parties.

What Is Loan Modification?

A loan modification is a change in the terms of an existing loan agreement, usually involving a reduction in the interest rate, an extension of the loan term, or a change in the principal balance. It's different from loan refinancing, which involves taking out a new loan with different terms to pay off the original loan. In a loan modification, the original loan remains in place, but its terms are altered to make it more manageable for the borrower.

There are several reasons why someone might consider a loan modification:

Financial hardship: Unexpected life events such as job loss, medical emergencies, or a decrease in income can make it difficult for borrowers to keep up with their loan payments.
Adjustable-rate loans: Some borrowers with adjustable-rate loans may experience a significant increase in their monthly payments due to changes in interest rates.
Negative equity: Homeowners with negative equity (when the value of the property is less than the outstanding loan balance) might struggle to refinance their mortgage, making a loan modification a more viable option.

A lender attorney can assist with loan modifications by:

Assessing eligibility: A lender attorney can review your financial situation and determine whether you are eligible for a loan modification, based on the specific criteria set by your lender.
Preparing documentation: The loan modification process requires extensive documentation, including proof of income, financial hardship, and other relevant information. A lender attorney can help you gather and organize these documents to strengthen your case.
Negotiating with lenders: An experienced lender attorney can negotiate with your lender on your behalf, advocating for more favorable terms and ensuring that your best interests are represented.
Navigating legal issues: Loan modifications may involve complex legal issues, such as dealing with multiple liens on a property or addressing tax implications. A lender attorney can provide guidance in these areas, helping you avoid potential pitfalls.
