Comment on Your Chance to Vote on New TILA / GFE / HUD-1 Forms by Andy Schomburg

Andy Schomburg — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:23:54 +0000

Since the introduction of the 2010 GFE and TIL, the industry’s realtors, loan originators and title agents have been more confused and the consumer is more is more likely to sign documents that even the pros have trouble to explain. The amounts charged on GFE are added to and subtracted from before becoming a settlement statement. The whole set-up is poorly designed and difficult to execute.

If we are to create a NEW GFE/TIL/HUD, why not list all individual charges and fees in ONE form, called the “HUD settlement statement” and the GFE/Fee Sheet should be the identical form with identical fees, called a “HUD Estimate”.

Better Disclosure, Less Paperwork, less confusion for the consumer! And the industry!

Comment on Report Issued by Statewide Managed Mediation Program Assessment Workgroup by Bob Hurt: More Pesky Questions about Florida Adverse Possession

Bob Hurt: More Pesky Questions about Florida Adverse Possession — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 06:52:18 +0000

[...] After consideration of the available program data, public comments, chief judge input, and other information, the workgroup voted to: (1) eliminate the mandate for a statewide managed mediation program; and (2) allow circuits to opt in to a new, revised uniform model administrative order, either as an exclusive approach or in addition to referral of cases to mediation on a case-by-case basis under relevant court rules and statutes. The workgroup concluded that for those circuits that choose to continue a managed mediation program, adherence to a modified model administrative order is important to maintain consistency throughout the state. In those circuits that choose not to opt in to a modified model administrative order, the chief judge should be responsible for devising a plan for discontinuing the local managed mediation program.Source: bplawfl.com [...]
