TILA – ARM Disclosures

Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) which are secured by the borrowers primary residence and have a term of greater than one year, face additional disclosure requirements under TILA. Although disclosing the following terms satisfies any disclosure requirements under TILA for any variable rate transaction, not every variable rate transaction requires the full set of ARM disclosures.

TILA Residential Mortgage Disclosures

Most home mortgages are subject to the disclosure requirements of TILA. 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1638. The required disclosures must be provided to the homeowner prior to the consummation of the transaction, i.e. prior to closing. Homeowners have the right to rescind most credit transactions, including home equity loans, where the home is taken as collateral.
