The document outlines a new regulation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regarding changes to escrow collection procedures under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). Effective May 24, 1995, for all residential loans, it details how mortgage service companies must calculate escrow amounts for tax payments. Homeowners can choose to voluntarily increase their escrow deposits to mitigate potential payment increases due to estimated tax shortages. The document provides options for homeowners to either elect to pay higher deposits or accept the risk of substantial payment increases in the following year.

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What does voluntary escrow mean?

Any decision to apply voluntary escrow, and the terms and period of escrow, are a matter for negotiation between the company, the shareholder and often an underwriter, lead manager or cornerstone investor. The terms of a voluntary escrow contract can generally be varied or terminated by mutual agreement.

What does prepaid escrow mean?

When your insurance or property tax bill comes due, the lender uses the escrow funds to pay them. That way, you dont have to keep up with payment deadlines. Youre also not forced to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars all at once to cover your taxes or keep your insurance current.

What is a voluntary escrow payment?

Prepaid costs act as a safety net for lenders. The money they require you to prepay is usually for taxes, interest, and insurance. You give it to them in advance, and it goes into a prepaid escrow account. They then use that money to pay for those items.
