HUD-1 RESPA Software 1

The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) is a consumer protection statute, first passed in 1974. One of its purposes is to help consumers become better shoppers for settlement services. Another purpose is to eliminate kickbacks and referrals fees that increase unnecessarily the costs of certain settlement services. RESPA requires that borrowers receive disclosures at various times. Some disclosures spell out the costs associated with the settlement, outline lender servicing and escrow account practices and describe business relationships between settlement service providers.

The HUD-1 RESPA Settlement Statement automates preparation and printing of the HUD-1 RESPA Settlement Statement forms. This program displays the entire HUD-1 form on the screen in a scrollable format. The information is entered from your keyboard as it would be typed on the form itself.
