How important are Hud-1 statements?

[nc73]

I can't track down most Hud-1 statements from the previous homes I've bought/sold within the last 10 years. I have maybe 1 statement. What to do? Lawyer not answering my emails. I'm trying to send in the preliminary paperwork.

Most of the time the title company keeps a copy of the HUD-1 for many years. In fact for at least the last 7 yrs or so most of the title companies in our area charge a 'electronic document storage fee' so they can keep them longer. Contact the title company or attorney's office where you had your closing.

That's the thing. I've no idea what the title company was. i was able to get a hud1 from a sale in 2005 but that's it..

Do you remember the real estate agent? We usually keep a copy too for many years.

Just his first name. I don't even remember the company he worked for. I shredded the paperwork thinking i'd never need it. I don't even know why the lawyer needs it. It's 7 years ago and sold.

I had to provide the HUD-1's to each transaction for the 10 yrs leading to my filing date too. Maybe the attorney/trustee will accept a copy of the deed (avail online) and whatever you have in your file. Ask him.

Well no luck so far. I take it they still want even if the homes were sold...
