Mortgage Modification Program Checklist

Mortgage Modification Program Checklist

Filing for a Kentucky mortgage modification program requires certain documents. To help you along, we’ve gathered this common list of mortgage modification documents. There are standard forms that are a part of every mortgage modification. For your convenience, the list items below also contain links to those standard forms.

Common Documents for Kentucky Mortgage Modification Programs

First, you must understand that the primary reason for 90% of modifications receiving a denial is because the debtors fail to complete them accurately. Secondly, during this process, it is common for offices to “lose applications.” Therefore, you must keep records. Additionally, if you choose to sue the bank back or file bankruptcy and want to consider a mortgage modification, the application often goes through a special paralegal at the office of the attorney for the bank.

These are the document they are most likely to expect from you. This is especially true with CitiMortgage. However, you must be aware that every lender has different rules.

  1. Dodd-Frank Certification Form
  2. Hardship Affidavit
  3. Two (2) Consecutive Current Bank Statements for all borrowers. Also, include all pages. Additionally, you cannot refer to online forms.

  6. Updated Work Out Package Application
  7. Form 710 UNIFORM BORROWER ASSISTANCE FORM
  8. Signed and dated Hardship Letter detailing the hardship
  9. 3rd Party Authorization Form from Client – However, this form varies from lender to lender and you must get it from your lender. The lender also uses it to identify parties or companies that the lender has the authorization to speak with. Also, remember to include your signature and the date.
  10. 4506T IRS form for Prior two years 2011& 2012
  11. Most recent utility bill

If you go through a divorce, you must also provide the Final Divorce Decree. That must also include the disclosure of the award of the property along with the Quick Claim record.
