The title insurance and mortgage lending industry will begin to feel the sting of implementing the newly integrated mortgage disclosure forms soon enough. And while challenges always present themselves when dealing with new regulations, planning ahead and following the advice of industry experts can lead companies to a smooth transition and successful implementation. But title companies are urged to start now in order to manage pressure points and reduce the disruption in business operations when it comes time to comply.
The Title Report and sponsor WFG National Title Insurance Company are offering this exclusive webinar to provide title companies instruction on implementing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB ) mandated mortgage disclosure forms. Join us as we hear from several industry leaders including: Richard Horn, who was instrumental in writing the final rule; Vincent Danzi of OneTitle National Guaranty Company Inc.; and Leslie Wyatt, of SoftPro. The three together will offer an in-depth look at:
- What your implementation plan should include;
- What is involved in implementing the new rule;
- What is required from the closing agent;
- What enforcement will look like;
- Software implementation best practices; and
- Settlement agent concerns.
During the webinar, each speaker will provide practical instruction on implementation considerations; engage in a panel discussion with moderator Charles Cain, of WFG National Title Insurance Co.; and offer a Q&A segment to address questions from the participants.
It has been said that the new rule is not like the 2010 RESPA mortgage disclosure reform. It is different: And implementation considerations need to be looked at now in order to plan for a smooth transition in 2015. Join us and learn what you should be doing to prepare.
With your recording you will receive the full PowerPoint presentation along with related articles from October Research LLC publications. |
