Subject: What Is a Mortgage Escrow Account and How Does it Work?

You have probably heard the term escrow used often when someone
speaks of mortgage, housing insurance, or property tax.

The purpose of mortgage escrow accounts is to protect the
homeowners interest when it comes to insurance and property tax.

Mortgage Escrow Accounts derived during the Great Depression. This
was a time of high unemployment where many people were foreclosing
on their homes because they were unable to meet the financial
obligations to keep their homes including paying lump sum amounts
that came due.

Initially lenders were volunteering to take smaller sums
of payments on a regular basis to cushion for the lump sum charges
in order to insure that they would be paid.

In 1934, the government mandated this service on all FHA loans.
Eventually this became the common practice for all mortgage loans.

How does it work? Lenders usually calculate how much property taxes,
fire and hazard insurance, and mortgage insurance premiums will
be and divide it up into twelve payments and calculate it into
your monthly mortgage. The lender then disburses the money to these
expenses as they came due.

The lender pays the full amount due whether or not all of the
money has been collected at the time.

The lender will also pay the balance even if they did not
collect enough that year to cover the expenses without penalizing
the borrower.

They may have to may adjustments to the amount collected in the
future if the find the current amount collected to be
insufficient.

If the loan is sold to another lender, the new lender will take
over the escrow account.

They will most likely review it and make any necessary adjustments.

If you have any questions or concerns about your escrow account
you should contact your lender as soon as possible.

He or she should be able to resolve any matters or
misunderstandings you may have regarding your mortgage escrow
account.
