The VA
Home Loan Guaranty program
authorized by title 38, United States
Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 37, offers a
partial guaranty against loss to lenders
who make home loans to veterans. VA
regulations concerning the payment of
loan guaranty claims are set forth at 38
CFR 36.4300, et seq. Computation of
guaranty claims is addressed in 38 CFR
36.4324, which states that one part of
the indebtedness upon which the
guaranty percentage is applied is the
allowable expenses/advances as
described in 38 CFR 36.4314. Paragraph
(b)(5)(ii) of section 36.4314 describes the
procedures to be followed in
determining what constitutes the
reasonable and customary fees for legal
services in the termination of a loan.
The Secretary annually reviews
allowances for legal fees in connection
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
with the termination of single-family
housing loans, including foreclosure,
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and
bankruptcy-related services, issued by
the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie
Mae), and the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
Based on increases in bankruptcy
attorney fees announced over the past
year by these entities, the Secretary has
deemed it necessary to publish in the
Federal Register a table setting forth the
revised amounts the Secretary now
determines to be reasonable and
customary for bankruptcy attorney fees.
The table reflects the primary method
for foreclosing in each state, either
judicial or non-judicial, with the
exception of those states where either
judicial or non-judicial is acceptable.
