The Right of Rescission
The Truth in Lending Act’s right of rescission requirements always seem to generate a lot of questions. Knowing when to give it, who to give it to and how to count the three-day rescission period can all be tricky. Here are some questions we’ve received recently:
Question: Are we required to give rescission for a HELOC secured by an investment property that’s not the borrower’s primary residence?
Answer: No, the right of rescission only applies when a security interest is taken in a dwelling someone both owns and is their primary residence.
Question: A mother and daughter own a home together. The home is the mother’s primary residence and the daughter lives in another state. Mom is getting a home equity loan in her name only. Daughter does not get the right to rescind since the home isn’t her primary dwelling, but does she need to receive a copy of the Closing Disclosure?
Answer: A non-borrower is only required to receive a copy of the Closing Disclosure if the individual has the right to rescind.
