Document List
Program Changes
  • Document Selection and Preview Options for SmartSign® Plus

    The SmartSign Plus eSignature workflow has been enhanced to enable selection of individual documents to include in a package preview and submission for electronic signing. This update enables greater flexibility by letting you select a subset of documents from a list of all available documents to include in the package submitted for electronic signature through SmartSign Plus.

Document Changes
Multistate
  • Closing Disclosures Titles

    The title that appears for a borrower/applicant’s trustee in the Date and Parties block is occasionally grammatically incorrect. When the party is a trust, the current logic always displays "Trustees of the" after the name, even when there is only one trustee. The rule has been updated so that "Trustee of the" will appear when a trust has a single trustee, and "Trustees of the" will appear when the trust has multiple trustees. This change ensures the title is always grammatically accurate.
    • Closing Disclosure Addendum
    • Closing Disclosure Seller Only Addendum
    • Closing Disclosure Addendum Spanish
  • Demographic Information Addendum

    Updated the Demographic Information Addendum form to uncheck the "Logos supported" checkbox.

  • Escrow Account Disclosure

    Updated the Escrow Account Disclosure form to replace the Section 1 Initial Deposit logic for a closed-end transaction secured by real estate other than rental residential property and print the calculated associated amount. When the transaction does not meet that criteria, the calculation will now rely on specific Fee Names rather than fixed 1000-series HUD line items (such as 1001-1007) for escrow reserves.
    • Property Insurance
    • Mortgage Insurance
    • Annual Assessments
    • City Property Taxes
    • County Property Taxes
    • Flood Insurance
    • Hazard Insurance
    • User Defined
  • Loan Estimate Addendum Spanish

    Updated the Loan Estimate Addendum Spanish to correct the title. The title that appears for a borrower/applicant’s trustee in the Date and Parties block is occasionally grammatically incorrect. When the party is a trust, the current logic always displays "Trustees of the" after the name, even when there is only one trustee. The rule has been updated so that "Trustee of the" will appear when a trust has a single trustee, and "Trustees of the" will appear when the trust has multiple trustees. This change ensures the title is always grammatically accurate.

  • Notice Of Action Taken

    Added the Notice of Action Taken form to the Consumer Direct Adverse Action and Home Equity Adverse Action packages.

  • Private Mortgage Insurance Disclosure

    Updated the Private Mortgage Insurance Disclosure to include loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") in the Disclosures for Fixed Rate Mortgages. In addition, hardcoded text changes have been made to the first paragraph elements in Section - "Disclosures for Fixed Rate Mortgages" and Section - "Disclosures for Variable Rate Mortgages".

  • Release Of Real Estate Security Instrument

    Removed document titles from the following jurisdictions and inactive content for not supported jurisdictions (states).
    • California
    • Idaho
    • Montana (when the property is less than 40 acres)
    • Nebraska
    • Oregon
    • Utah
    • Washington
  • Report and Certification of Loan Disbursement

    The logic regarding "Discount Points Charged" and "Discount Points Financed" fields has been reverted to its previous state prior to a recent change that aimed to remove obsolete TRID data. This reversion was necessary because the previous attempt to remove obsolete data inadvertently removed logic to ensure that the correct point amounts print.

  • Request for Verification of Deposit

    Revised the Request for Verification of Deposit form to add a new font style attribute to the Table - "Information To Be Verified". In addition, formatting changes applied by the addition of an element and new fonts style attribute, were made to the Table - "Deposit Accounts of Applicant(s)" and Table - "Loans Outstanding To Applicant(s)".

  • Settlement Certification

    Revised the Settlement Certification form to update package rules so the document is selected only for FHA purchase money transactions.

  • Veterans Affairs Property Acknowledgment

    A condition has been added to enable signature highlighting on the document.

California
  • Waiver of Homestead Exemption
  • Revised the Waiver of Homestead Exemption to add selected non-trust entity signers into the Unique Individual Capacity iterations for the acknowledgment content.

    With this change, all unique, selected signers on behalf of non-trust entities now receive an acknowledgment when such an acknowledgment is executed in California (one acknowledgment per unique person signing the document, regardless of what roles they are signing in).

District of Columbia
  • Real Property Recordation and Tax-DC

    Updated the Real Property Recordation and Tax for District of Columbia form to correct the spelling of the word "Suffix" on page 5. As part of this change, the PDF image was updated accordingly to correct the spelling of the hardcoded text "Suffix".

  • Security Affidavit for the District of Columbia-DC

    Updated the Security Affidavit for the District of Columbia-DC form to uncheck the "Logos supported" checkbox option in the Document Properties.

Hawaii
  • Public Notice Regarding Foreclosure-HI

    Updated the Public Notice Regarding Foreclosure-HI form to changes the font size to a 14-point (14pt) font size. Note that sections that are not specifically a part of the notice (title, date and parties, tagline, signature sections) were not included in this font-size change and remain standard size.

    Within the body of the form, the hardcoded text within the paragraph elements was updated by adding “14pt” emphasis and attributes, in the following sections and notices:
