Post Close
You need to be aware of a number of item as soon as you have completed the closing process.
- The title company forwards documents to the loan company for funding and occasionally, this creates a small delay - generally not more than a couple of hours - in the finalization of the process
- When the loan company approves the paperwork they will send the funds to the title company for disbursement
- Keep all documents received at closing in a safe place
- Make a copy of your closing statement for tax time
- The title company will mail you a copy of the title policy
- If you purchased a new home and a warranty was provided, look for your warranty sticker in the mail as you need it to validate your warranty
Things to Do After the Move
- Notify the sender of any mail forwarded to you of your new address
- Register to vote so that when election time rolls around, you will be eligible
- Get a change of address on your driver's license if you have moved within the state and make application for one if you have moved out of state
- Make contact with a local insurance agent to transfer policies
- Complete a Household Inventory of your new home
- Find out when the trash and garbage is picked up and whether there is a recycling program available
- If you have to locate a new doctor and dentist, have your medical histories transferred
- If necessary, ask for recommendations of good contractors like plumbers, air-conditioning services and the like so that when you need them, you will know who to call without being at the mercy of the yellow pages
- Locate new service providers such as banks, pharmacies, and cleaners, etc.
Recognize that moving can be very stressful on people and that you should be considerate of your family members and yourself.
