Borrower's Estimated Closing Statement
A settlement statement is a document given to borrowers at closing that itemizes services and fees
charged to the borrower by the lender or broker. It also contains a good faith estimate.
A settlement statement is a document that summarizes the terms and conditions of a settlement, most
commonly a loan agreement. A loan settlement statement provides full disclosure of a loan's terms, but
most importantly it details all of the fees and charges that a borrower must pay extraneously from a
loan's interest.
, Preliminary Report
"This is your preliminary report which is an offer to issue a policy of title insurance in the future for a
specific fee."
Once you've opened escrow on a property, you will receive a preliminary report. This is an offer to issue
a title insurance policy and it will describe the terms under which a policy will be issued.
The preliminary report will include items such as the owner's name, property legal description, and any
exceptions to the title policy. While every property will have some exceptions, certain exceptions must
be removed before a title policy can be issued. One example is a deed of trust securing a loan. The
loan must be paid in full in order to secure a release and issue a title policy. It is important to review
your preliminary report and understand any exceptions or exclusions from title policy.
