AB 238 – Mortgage Forbearance Act Provides Relief for Homeowners in Wildfire-Affected Areas

When disaster strikes, families need more than just hope—they need real solutions. With the recent Los Angeles wildfires leaving homes destroyed and families displaced, Assembly Bill 238 (AB 238), also known as the Mortgage Forbearance Act, has been signed into law to provide urgent financial relief for impacted homeowners.


What AB 238 Does
AB 238 allows eligible homeowners whose properties were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable by the wildfires to request mortgage payment forbearance. This means:
An initial forbearance period of 90 days, with the option to extend in 90-day increments for up to 12 months.Protection against late fees, penalties, extra interest, foreclosure proceedings, and negative credit impacts.Requirements for mortgage servicers to respond within 10 business days to forbearance requests, provide clear explanations for denials, and notify borrowers of documentation needed for extensions.Additionally, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) will oversee compliance and provide homeowners with resources, guidelines, and a borrower assistance hotline.


Why This Matters
The aftermath of the Los Angeles wildfires has devastated communities—not only through the destruction of homes, but also through the financial strain placed on families. AB 238 ensures that impacted homeowners can focus on recovery, rebuilding, and receiving insurance payouts without the immediate fear of foreclosure.


At Fidelity National Title, we believe in standing with our communities in times of crisis. As the top title company and trusted partner to real estate professionals, our mission is to provide clarity, resources, and guidance—helping homeowners and agents alike navigate challenges with confidence.

Safeguarding U.S. Financial Systems: What Realtors & Clients Need to Know About the New FinCEN Anti-Money Laundering Rules

Starting December 1, 2025, a new nationwide rule will reshape the way residential real estate transfers are reported in the United States. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is rolling out updated Anti-Money Laundering Regulations designed to protect the integrity of U.S. financial systems.

Here’s what you need to know:

🚨 Key Points of the New Regulations

• Covered Transactions: Primarily cash purchases of residential real estate by legal entities or trusts.

• Reportable Properties: Includes single-family homes, condos, townhomes, co-ops, apartment buildings, and vacant land intended for 1–4 unit residential construction.

• Nationwide Coverage: Applies in all states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Native American lands.

• Reporting Requirement: Settlement agents (often escrow or title) must report details on property, buyers, beneficial owners, funding sources, and payment methods.

• Reporting Persons: Generally, the closing or settlement agent unless otherwise designated.

🛠️ 5 Steps to Prepare Now

-> Understand the Rule – Review FinCEN’s FAQs and guidance.

-> Work with Legal & Compliance Teams – Avoid penalties by staying compliant.

-> Monitor & Audit – Track updates and changes to reporting requirements.

-> Leverage Technology – Use tools to streamline reporting and accuracy.

-> Train Your Team – Educate staff and update procedures before December 1.

How Can I Save on Title Insurance or Shop Around for Better Rates?

For many homebuyers in Rancho Cucamonga and the Inland Empire, the term “title insurance” feels like another line item in the long list of closing costs. But here’s the truth: title insurance is one of the most important safeguards you’ll ever purchase, and there are ways to save money on it—without sacrificing quality or protection.

Here are some strategies that smart buyers (and Realtors) are using right now:

1. Ask About available discounts

Are you Senior or a Veteran? Ask me for details?

2. Compare Title Providers (But Look Beyond Price)

While you can shop around, not all title companies are equal. Some cut corners on service, leaving room for delays, missed red flags, or poor communication. Fidelity National Title combines competitive pricing with unmatched expertise, ensuring both affordability and peace of mind.

3. Bundle With the Seller’s Title Company

In some cases, you may be able to save by using the seller’s chosen title company and bundling services into a single transaction. Realtors who work closely with Fidelity National Title often see smoother negotiations and faster closings—two benefits that add real value.

4. Negotiate Closing Fees

Certain administrative fees associated with title and escrow may be negotiable. Partnering with Fidelity means working with a transparent team that explains every fee clearly, so you know exactly where your money is going and what can be adjusted.

🏡 Title Insurance Q&A

Rancho Cucamonga & Inland Empire

Presented by Team Title Guy | Fidelity National Title

❓ What is title insurance and why do I need it?

Answer: Title insurance protects you against hidden issues like liens, ownership disputes, or recording errors. It ensures your new home is truly yours.

❓ What’s the difference between an owner’s policy and a lender’s policy?

Answer: The owner’s policy protects you (the buyer) while the lender’s policy protects the bank. Both are important, but only the owner’s policy safeguards your long-term rights.

❓ How much does title insurance cost?

Answer: It’s a one-time fee paid at closing—not a monthly expense. Costs vary depending on the property and county (San Bernardino, Riverside, etc.), but Fidelity National Title makes the process transparent and straightforward.

❓ What does title insurance cover?

Answer: It covers hidden risks like forged documents, unpaid liens, errors in public records, or even unknown heirs who could claim rights to the property.

❓ Why choose Fidelity National Title?

Answer: Because experience matters. Fidelity is the best title company in Rancho Cucamonga and the Inland Empire, combining local expertise with the strength of a national leader. With Team Title Guy at Fidelity National Title, you don’t just close deals—you create clients for life.
