RESPA is a federal US law designed to protect homeowners during the mortgage and escrow process. It regulates how lenders manage your funds and requires them to provide transparent “Escrow Analysis” statements. Under RESPA, your lender cannot prevent you from switching insurance carriers mid-term, provided the new policy meets their minimum standards. The Insurance Cop relies on RESPA guidelines to ensure that banks return escrow overages to homeowners within the 30-day legal window.
