Three business days before a scheduled California residential closing, the buyer's lender issues a Closing Disclosure showing that the loan's APR has increased beyond the TRID tolerance threshold compared to the original Loan Estimate. What must occur before closing can proceed?

Correct Answer

A) The lender must issue a corrected Closing Disclosure, and closing cannot occur until a new 3-business-day waiting period has elapsed from the buyer's receipt of the corrected disclosure

Under TRID rules (Regulation Z §1026.19(f)(2)), three specific changes require the lender to issue a corrected Closing Disclosure and restart the 3-business-day waiting period: an APR increase beyond the applicable tolerance, a change in loan product, or the addition of a prepayment penalty. An APR increase beyond tolerance is one of these triggering events, so the lender must issue a corrected CD and the buyer must receive it at least 3 business days before closing can occur.

Answer Options
A
The lender must issue a corrected Closing Disclosure, and closing cannot occur until a new 3-business-day waiting period has elapsed from the buyer's receipt of the corrected disclosure
B
The buyer must sign a written waiver acknowledging the APR change so the original closing date can be preserved
C
The escrow officer must obtain written consent from the seller to extend the closing date before the lender issues any corrected disclosure
D
The lender must credit the buyer for the cost difference caused by the APR increase, after which closing may proceed on the original date

Recording is the act of placing a document in the public records at the county recorder's office to give constructive notice to the world of an interest in real property. Recording protects the holder's interest against subsequent claims.

A special warranty deed guarantees that the grantor has not caused any title defects during their period of ownership, but does not warrant against defects that existed before the grantor acquired the property.

Title insurance is a policy that protects the insured party against financial loss from defects in title that were not discovered during the title search. Unlike other insurance, it covers past events rather than future risks.
