Bill Summary

Relating to requirements for the physical presence of a borrower for signing certain documents related to a home equity loan.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Finance Code and Estates Code to provide exceptions to the requirement that a home equity loan be closed in person at the office of the lender, an attorney, or a title company. Specifically, it allows borrowers who are active duty military members, their spouses, or certain other individuals to close a home equity loan remotely using remote online notarization or through an agent acting under a durable power of attorney. The bill also clarifies the form and requirements for durable powers of attorney used in home equity loan transactions. The changes in the bill only apply to durable powers of attorney executed on or after the effective date of the bill, which is January 1, 2024, but only if a related constitutional amendment is approved by voters.
