When and how does disbursement happen?

The title company is responsible for disbursing funds as listed on your Closing Disclosure (CD). This may include sending money to you if you are receiving funds, paying off your previous mortgage company, and making tax payments and homeowners insurance (HOI) payments, if applicable.

The title company ensures that all conditions to disburse funds are met before they can take action. Some of these conditions include approval from the lender, receiving funds from the lender, and receiving funds from you if applicable. You can find the disbursement date of your funds on the top left hand corner of your CD.

What is a Disbursement and Disbursement Date?

Disbursement refers to paying out money, such as for a mortgage loan. The disbursement date indicated at the top left-hand corner of your Closing Disclosure (CD) signifies when funds are disbursed or paid out.
