Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to clarify and establish requirements concerning a wrap lender's use of a third party to act as a residential mortgage loan servicer of wrap mortgage loan.

(b) Use of a Third-Party Servicer. A wrap lender is authorized to use the services of a third party to act as the residential mortgage loan servicer of a wrap mortgage loan (also known as a "subservicer").

(c) Handling of Payments and Disbursements. To the extent a wrap lender uses the services of a third-party servicer, the handling of payments and disbursement of funds received by the third-party servicer is governed by the agreement between the wrap lender and third-party servicer, including:

(1) whether or not and on what terms the third-party servicer makes disbursements to the superior lienholder;

(2) disbursements made to the wrap lender; and

(3) how payments by the wrap borrower in excess of the current amount due under the terms of the wrap mortgage loan are handled, applied, or disbursed.

(d) No Limitation on Liability. As provided by Finance Code § 159.107, any agreement between a wrap lender and a third-party servicer may not seek to waive or limit the wrap lender's or third-party servicer's liability to the wrap borrower arising from the fiduciary duties owed to the wrap borrower pursuant to Finance Code § 159.152. However, an agreement between a wrap lender and third-party servicer may contain an indemnification agreement concerning potential liability arising from the fiduciary duties owed to the wrap borrower under Finance Code § 159.152.
