Changed circumstances is a perplexing concept to many, and some experts think this part of the RESPA final rule will result in legal trouble for those who do not handle them in a manner compliant with RESPA. The final rule states that lenders are bound by the fees disclosed in the GFE, except in the case of a changed circumstance, which allows fees to be changed and the GFE to be reissued. But what exactly qualifies as a changed circumstance?

You’ll learn what qualifies as a changed circumstance and what doesn’t, explore several situations that constitute the “gray” area in between, and discover how to handle those last minute changes that threaten to derail the deal.
