Why would a lender pay the homeowner insurance?

Actually, the home owner pays the home owner's insurance. The lender has an escrow account. This is in additional to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. The escrow account pays the taxes and insurance. The escrow account pays the taxes so the government does not seize the property. The homeowners insurance pays in case the house burns down. So, you pay into the escrow account, and if your house burns down, the lender gets the insurance money. You would not pay a mortgage on a burned down house and the bank knows that, so they have you pay into the escrow account and they pay for the insurance.


How can you get a copy of your settlement statement?

In my case, I had to contact my Escrow Agent. If you don't know who was your agent then first try to find who was the Escrow Company then give them a call and tell them your Escrow number and they will transfer you to your Escrow Agent. Then the Agent will give you options as if you want to get the statement emailed or mailed to you. Hope that helped a bit.

What is 'escrow'?

Escrow is money put aside for a particular item. For example in a home mortgage you might have an escrow account which might include your house insurance. Thus part of your mortgage payment would include an escrow for insurance and they would pay it in full when it becomes due but you would pay it in 12 payments. Another definition for escrow is: aneutral third party that holds documents (such as a deed to property andmortgage documents), money and the instructions for their exchange. For example, in most western states escrow companies facilitate the closing of real estate purchase transactions.
