5 THINGS WE THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HOME EQUITY LOAN The Texas Constitution allows you to use the equity in your home as collateral for current borrowing needs. There have also been some provisions put in place that protect consumers. This document describes the provisions included in the Texas Constitution which are designed to protect you and your home as described in the Notice concerning Extensions of Credit. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT, WHEN YOU USE YOUR HOME AS COLLATERAL FOR THIS LOAN, FAILURE TO MEET THE TERMS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT YOU SIGN AT CLOSING CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR HOME. DEFAULT UNDER THE AGREEMENT WOULD INCLUDE EXCESSIVE LATE PAYMENTS, BANKRUPTCY, FRAUD, FAILURE TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE, ETC. LIKEWISE, IF WE FAIL TO MEET ANY OF THE PROVISIONS DESCRIBED BELOW, FNB TRENTON WILL FORFEIT THE RIGHT TO COLLECT ALL PRINCIPLE AND INTEREST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOAN. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMING REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH BY TEXAS LAW THAT AFFECT WHEN YOU MAY RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS FROM YOUR LOAN. THESE PROVISIONS ARE OUTLINED IN THE SECTION ENTITLED CLOSING AND DOCUMENTATION. General Provisions All documents required to create a lien against your homestead property, including the Deed of Trust, will have to be signed by all owners of the real estate being used as collateral, as well as by their spouses. Your Home Equity Loan is an installment loan and not a line of credit. This means you will not have ongoing access to these funds. You will receive the proceeds in one lump sum and be responsible for repaying the loan over a set period of time beginning no later than 60 days from the time you receive your money. If you need additional funds that exceed the lump sum, you must apply for a separate loan and qualify for it. YOU MAY NOT HOWEVER, HAVE MORE THAN ONE HOME EQUITY LOAN OPEN AT A TIME AND YOU MAY NOT OPEN MORE THAN ONE PER 12 MONTH PERIOD. That means that when you apply, you should request the full amount you think you will need over the next 12 months. You may be required to pay certain fees to setup and maintain the loan. First National Bank cannot charge you more than 3% of the principle loan amount to setup and maintain the loan. For example, if you apply and qualify for a $50,000 loan, the maximum amount you may have to pay in fees is 3% of $50,000, or $1,500. If offered during a promotional period, First National Bank may pay some or all of these fees. The interest you pay, discount points and options you select like credit life insurance are not included in the 3% cap. Fees like closing costs and maintenance fees are included in the 3% cap. Once you have paid the loan in full, First National Bank is required to release or assign the lien, whichever is appropriate. Collateral You may use only your homestead property to secure this loan. No additional collateral, real estate or otherwise, may be used to secure the loan. In addition, agricultural homestead property cannot be used as collateral unless it is used primarily for milk production. By law, the principle loan amount, along with all other outstanding mortgage debt, cannot exceed 80% of what is determined to be the fair market value of your homestead property. You will be asked to sign a document at closing acknowledging the fair market value of the homestead property. Payments The bank must setup a payment schedule of equal monthly payments. These payments must cover at least the interest accrued since your last scheduled payment. Likewise, First National Bank cannot: Assess any penalties if you choose to make additional payments or payoff the loan in it s entirety before the end of the agreed upon term. Require you to assign future wages as a way to repay the loan in the event of default. Require you to repay the loan early should the value of the homestead property securing the loan decrease in value. However, your income will be used to qualify you for this loan, to ensure you have sufficient income to make the required payments. Purpose You may use the proceeds for any purpose including education, medical expenses, home improvements and debt consolidation. First National Bank of Trenton however, cannot require you to use the proceeds to payoff any existing debt with First National Bank unless you choose to do so or unless it is another loan secured by the same real estate collateral. This means that if you have a first or second mortgage with another bank, First National Bank of Trenton can request that you borrow enough money to payoff the loan(s). If you choose to consolidate other higher-interest debt into this loan, you may do so at your discretion. If you choose to do this, you should take any additional balances into consideration when requesting a loan amount and let your lender know this is something you would like to do. Closing and Documentation Once you apply, you will receive the document entitled Notice concerning extensions of Credit. Texas law requires you to wait a minimum of twelve (12) calendar days after you receive this document to close your loan. If you applied in person, this document will be given to you at the end of the application process and the twelve day waiting period will begin at that time. Provided your application is approved, you will be able to close your loan no earlier than the thirteenth calendar day after you applied. If you applied through the mail or over the telephone, this notice will be mailed to you. Since you must receive the notice before the waiting period can begin, we will add an additional four days mail time before beginning the twelve day waiting period. Provided your application is approved, you will be able to close your loan no earlier than the seventeenth calendar day after you applied. If your loan application is approved and the appropriate waiting period has passed, your loan will proceed through the closing process. After your loan is closed, federal and state law requires you to wait an additional three business days to receive your money. Funding can occur on the fourth business day after closing. Business days do not include Sundays, or federal holidays. The loan must be closed in a First National Bank banking center, an attorney s office, or in the office of a title company. At closing, you should receive a copy of all of the loan documents you have signed. For example, this would include the Deed of Trust, which you (and your spouse, if applicable) must sign. This would not include a copy of any unsigned documents. You can request a copy of any unsigned documents at closing. All documents should be completely filled in with no blanks.
