Closing Disclosure
The federal form that gives a borrower the final loan terms and closing costs, which must be received at least 3 business days before closing.
The Closing Disclosure is a five-page federal form that states the final terms of a mortgage loan and the exact closing costs. The borrower must receive it at least three business days before closing so there is time to compare it against the earlier Loan Estimate.
The Loan Estimate comes early, within three business days of application. The Closing Disclosure comes at the end, before consummation.
