Estimate Disclosure Change Step Check

Check a fee change between the loan estimate and closing disclosure against the documented steps. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Loan estimate figure, closing disclosure figure and any changed-circumstance note.

How it works

1. Record the fee on the loan estimate.
2. Record the fee on the closing disclosure.
3. Check for a documented changed circumstance covering the difference.
4. Return the step check without contacting the lender.

The output

fee | estimate_amount | disclosure_amount | change | documented_reason | needs_question

Worked fictional example

Fictional fee was 1,200 on the estimate and 1,650 on the closing disclosure: the 450 increase has no documented changed circumstance, so the file flags a question for the lender.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
