The TREC No. 41-1 Loan Assumption Addendum, promulgated by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) on April 23, 2007, is a vital document for ensuring equal housing opportunities in transactions involving the assumption of a loan. It outlines the process through which a buyer can assume the loan of a property, detailing specific requirements for credit documentation and approval, the mechanics of loan assumption, and the conditions under which either the buyer or seller may terminate the contract. The form necessitates the buyer to furnish credit reports, employment verification, and statements of funds on deposit to establish creditworthiness, granting the seller the right to terminate the contract if these are not provided within a specified timeframe or if the buyer's credit is deemed unacceptable. It also addresses the assumption of both first and second lien promissory notes, including adjustments at closing for variances in loan balances and the obligations that the assumption incurs. Critical to both parties are the terms related to assumption fees, interest rate adjustments, and necessary consent from the note holder, along with a focus on seller's liens and the management of tax and insurance escrows. For both buyers and sellers, the addendum capsulates significant legal and financial considerations, emphasizing the importance of understanding future adjustments, monthly payments, interest rates, and other terms. Notably, it advises sellers on their continued liability unless a release of liability is obtained from the note holders, subtly encouraging the use of a TREC Release of Liability Addendum for those concerned about future liabilities.
