Overview
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures (TRID) "Know Before You Owe" rule integrates federal mortgage forms required under the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) and Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA). A Loan Estimate replaces the Good Faith Estimate and early TIL disclosure, while a Closing Disclosure replaces the HUD-1 and final TIL disclosure. This rule went into effect on October 3, 2016.
Latest Developments
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on July 29 released amendments to TRID. The proposed changes correct technical problems, add clarity and incorporate informal guidance provided by the bureau in webinars into the official staff commentary. The amendments do not correct the inaccurate disclosure of title insurance premiums. The CFPB will accept comments to the proposed amendments until Oct. 18, 2016. Click here for more information.

The ALTA Settlement Statement is not meant to replace the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Closing Disclosure, which went into effect on Oct. 3, 2015.
