What Is a Loan Signing Package?

A loan signing package is the collection of documents required to finalize a mortgage loan.

These documents must be signed by the borrower and notarized before the lender will fund the loan.

  • Promissory Note β€” Your promise to repay the loan
  • Deed of Trust / Mortgage β€” Gives the lender a security interest in the property
  • Closing Disclosure β€” Final loan terms, costs, and cash-to-close
  • Right of Rescission β€” 3-day cancellation period notice (refinances only)
